while Bate sub-location in Magarini remained inaccessible for the second day with houses and roads submerged in waters from River Sabaki.

The Red Cross said about 280 families were stranded in Bate, while 99 others in Kakuhani and Kisiwani villages in Malindi could not be reached.

Malindi MP Gideon Mung’aro asked the government to evacuate them, saying the water levels were rising fast.

“Several people are yet to be evacuated from the areas and there is need to work in haste and use all means necessary to reach them. We are in talks with the Kenya Wildlife Service to see if they can assist us with a helicopter,” he said.

The MP donated food to the displaced as Red Cross Malindi branch manager Hassan Musa said they had acquired two speedboats to evacuate the families.

Refusing to leave homesEarlier, 12 families were taken to safety

from Kaziani village. The authorities, however, were disappointed that some people were refusing to leave their flooded homes.

Malindi district commissioner Joshua Nkanatha assured the residents that secu-rity had been beefed up and criminals would be punished.

Yesterday, the Kenya Electricity Generat-ing Company issued an alert that four of the five dams along River Tana had started spilling.

“As of this morning, our dams in Kamburu, Gitaru and Kiambere were spilling. Masinga may start spilling as well as its water levels were at 1,056.07m against full capacity level of 1056.50m.

“Communities living downstream Ki-ambere Dam have been communicated to by the Provincial Administration and the disaster agencies to move to higher grounds as the discharge from Masinga Dam will in-crease the total discharge from Kiambere Dam,” said the company in a statement to newsrooms.

In Kirinyaga, more than 50 families have been displaced in Marura village after River Thiba burst its banks. Three cows were swept away and several acres of rice and other crops destroyed in fresh floods that have hit the area in the last two days.

Many houses are submerged and pit la-trines destroyed, raising fears of an outbreak of waterborne diseases.

In Busia, Bunyala district commissioner Abdi Khalif advised those living near River Nzoia to move to higher grounds. The river has started overflowing in Usonga, Siaya District.

“The water level rises every hour and very soon the water will move into the homes around this place. We are urging the residents to start moving today (yesterday) before the

situation gets out of hand,” said Uranga dis-trict officer Adams Kadilo.

Three centres, Nyambare Mission, Uranga Legio Maria Church and Nyadorera Catho-lic Church have been identified as safety sites.

In Marakwet West District, scores of families have been forced to seek refuge in a primary school after mudslides flattened homes in Lochin village. There were no injuries, but property worth thousands of shillings was destroyed.

District commissioner John Ondego said at least 40 families had taken refuge at Chebororwa Primary School.

The primary school pupil says he has been in “this ferry business” ever since the Galana River burst

its banks three days ago.And at a time when several parts of the

country are suffering from the furry of killer floods, and families are marooned on roof or hill tops in rural areas, many Kenyan villages would welcome the creativity of this eight-year-old boy in Kaziani Village in Malindi.

Baraka Rimba Kahindi has joined together two old wooden doors for a makeshift raft, and uses a long stick for an oar to help evacuate his marooned vil-lagers to safety.

As other children his age look at the rising water levels from a far and wait for a helping hand, Kahindi has so fare helped the Red Cross team of volunteers to save 14 children and five women.

Yesterday, Malindi MP Gideon Mung’aro and Mr Joshua Nkanatha who oversee the rescue efforts branding the Kavinyalalo Pri-mary School pupil the hero of the day.

And when the Nation asked why he was

not afraid that the flood waters would carry him away, he beat his chest, saying “I am a man”, to the cheers from the crowd.

“I have been using the makeshift raft to ferry people across, especially those going to Malindi town and do not want to dirty their clothes. I charge them Sh20,” Kahindi said.

The money the third born of eight siblings collects in a day, he gives to his mother.

The boy who has a passion for education, says when schools opened on Monday, he reported like other children and only con-tinued with his business in the evenings.

But the level of flood waters increased, forcing him to halt his studies. He has left his books and uniforms behind as there was not much time during the evacuation to take all his belongings with him.

Yesterday, as he ferries two wooden boxes his mother asked him to get from the house, he remembered they left behind

water jerricans the family would need and went back for them.

“I had to learn to swim because floods have been a problem here for a very long time,” Kahindi said.

Several families in the low lying areas of Malindi and Magarini who have been affected by floods have petitioned the government to move them to higher ground as a permanent solution to the annual problem.

Red Cross Malindi branch manager Has-san Musa said Kahindi’s act of courage could not be matched among his age mates.

“When we arrived at around 10.30am, we found him testing out his raft, crossing from the marooned village,” he said.

He said the response team was intrigued by the boy’s creativity and used his inven-tion to evacuate the 12 households in the village.

“We would have definitely used more time to evacuate them because most chil-dren do not know how to swim,” he said.

The Red Cross has pledged to train the boy as a volunteer and equip him with first aid skills to use at school and at home.

For now he remains among the more than 2,000 pupils in Malindi and Magarini districts unable to go to school because of the floods.

They hope the government, through the Ministry of Special Programmes to im-plement a proposal by the departments of education in the area to have satellite schools set up so children’s education is not interrupted by the floods.

One of the pastors killed by a mob in Mombasa had returned from his honeymoon just the day before.

Mr Jackson Kioko of Melchidizek church of Buxton wedded Damaris Kioko two weeks ago.

Yesterday, the bride-turned widow called for thorough inves-tigations to get to the bottom of the killings.

“I have so many questions since I was not informed about the death of my husband on time. It is until today, more than 24 hours after the death of my husband, that a senior church member informed me about the incident,” said Mrs Kioko.

First assignmentShe said she learned about

the death of her husband when she went to Changamwe police station to report that he had disappeared.

She said her husband did not return home after he went out on his first assignment after their honeymoon.

“Our gifts are still intact and we have not even received the photos which we took during our colourful wedding,” she said.

Pastors Kioko and Benjamin Juma were lynched when they went to a home of Mr Mutana Nyandua, who is a recent Christian convert. He had been a Muslim.

But Mrs Mapenzi Abdalla, a relative of Mr Nyandua, denied that he had become a Christian, insisting that all family members were Muslims.

Nobody has been arrested in connection with the killings.

Pastor killed day after honeymoon

regarding MPs from the ODM side of the coalition is Mr Odinga’s.

Mr Gumo replaces Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi, who resigned last week as ODM deputy leader and Local Government minister. He intends to vie for the presidency against Mr Odinga but on a United Democratic Front ticket.

His appointment came amid pressure, especially from Western Province leaders, for Mr Odinga to replace Mr Mudavadi with an MP from the region.

Among those who had been touted as possible candidates for the vacant post were Planning minister Wycliffe Oparanya and assistant minister Al-fred Khang’ati.

Possible candidatesThe others were MPs Ababu

Namwamba (Budalang’i), Alfred Sambu (Webuye), Ben Washiali (Mumias) and Wilbur Otichilo (Emuhaya).

The MPs have been jostling for the post through councillors allied to them. A section of councillors from Bungoma asked Mr Odinga to replace Mr Mudavadi with Mr Khang’ati to “neutralise” the influence of Justice

minister Eugene Wamalwa in the county.

Led by Mr Henry Okumu, the coun-cillors said it was the only county in the province which did not have a Cabinet minister from the ODM wing of the coalition.

But their Vihiga counterparts de-manded that Mr Otichilo be appointed to the post because Mr Mudavadi hails from the county.

Sources close to Mr Odinga said the choice of Mr Gumo, albeit in an acting capacity, had caught many party members by surprise.

“We expected him to call a meet-ing of key ODM leaders or even MPs from Western to explain to them his choice before making it public but this did not happen,” said an ally of the PM, who asked not to be named for fear of appearing to challenge the decision.

The Nation learnt that those who had been pushing for Mr Namwamba to be appointed minister argued he would help sway the youth vote.

But critics say it would be unfair for Busia County to have two ODM ministers, the other one being Dr Paul Otuoma of Sports while Bun-goma has none.

Mr Washiali was last week forced to deny angling for Mr Mudavadi’s Cabi-net position after he was criticised by Kakamega ODM officials for allegedly undermining the Sabatia MP.

Mr Gumo’s choice appears to have been influenced by the stature he holds in the party as head of the informal Rapid Response Team, a grouping bringing together Mr Odinga’s key allies. The group also includes ministers William ole Nti-

mama and James Orengo.An ally of Mr Odinga argued that

the choice of Mr Gumo was informed by the MP’s experience gained when he served as chairman of the Nairobi City Commission in the 1980s.

“Given the short time remaining before the next elections, we need

somebody who can whip councillors into place and nobody can beat Gumo in that field.

“The game plan is to confirm him to the position and appoint Khangati to replace him at Regional Develop-ment while Namwamba goes to the PM’s office as assistant minister,” said a Cabinet minister, who declined to be named because he had not been authorised to speak on the matter by the PM.

The Rapid Response Team’s main role is to intervene whenever serious disputes arise in the party and was at the forefront trying to convince Mr Mudavadi to drop his presidential ambitions and back Mr Odinga.

The PM is also yet to appoint a substantive minister for Industrialisa-tion after Tinderet MP Henry Kosgey stepped aside on being charged with abuse of office. Fisheries minister Amason Kingi is still acting in the portfolio.

Former Kenya Broadcast-ing Corporation (KBC) managing director David Waweru and secretary Hezekiel Oira have been put on their defence on allega-tions of irregular tendering of broadcast rights.

The two had a case to answer over impropriety in a contract to broad-cast the 2010 FIFA World Cup matches live, senior principal magistrate Lucy Nyambura ruled.

Ms Nyambura said the prosecution had proved its case beyond any rea-sonable doubt to warrant the accused being put on trial.

The corporation’s board chairman, Mr Charles Mwoki had told the court that Mr Waweru (pictured) bypassed the board and entered into partnerships to broadcast the 2010 Fifa World Cup.

He said they were told KBC was distributing the shares of broadcasting and seeking partnerships with local media to recoup their money and to generate income.

According to Mr Mwoki, there was no procurement or tendering process for the partnerships.

He said that when they later met as a board, they

discovered that there were discrepancies in following the correct procedures after which they handed the matter to the inspec-tor of corporations to investigate.

The case is a result of allegations that KBC in-formally invited bids but rejected more competitive offers from other broadcast-ers in what had become an explosive scramble for the right to broadcast the 2010 Fifa World Cup.

According to the prosecu-tion, Radio Africa Ltd paid KBC Sh26 million for the television rights in a deal which also entailed sharing of advertising revenue.

The government paid Sh75 million for the rights through KBC but later complained that it stood to lose the money it lent the public broadcaster to invest in the World Cup broadcasting rights.

The government has been warned of possible political violence ahead of the election

by the intelligence services.Prime Minister Raila Odinga told

Parliament that the agency had alerted the authorities of the high chances of chaos as a result of politicians whip-ping up tribal emotions.

“The service has warned and I quote ‘the recent trend where a sec-tion of the political elite have resorted to using ethnic groups for political mobilisation in order to advance personal and community interests to the exclusion of other sections of the Kenyan community is posing a threat to national cohesion and se-curity,’” he stated.

The National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) is mandated to iden-tify threats against national security, collect and analyse intelligence on these threats and advise the govern-ment accordingly.

The agency was accused of failing to warn of violence after the 2007 election.

The PM said the NSIS had warned that the use of tribal groupings to rally ethnic communities to denounce the ICC process could lead to inter-ethnic tensions between those perceived to be for and against the process.

The premier was briefing MPs on the measures the government has put in place in preparation for the

election. He said the political envi-ronment required “urgent cooling” to stop it from “overheating” along ethnic lines.

Among other measures, the PM said 7,000 police officers had been recruited and trained to provide se-curity during the election.

But MPs accused the PM of being

alarmist, arguing that his opposition to the March 4, 2013, election date was fanning animosity.

Mr Odinga said holding elections in March will interfere with the school calendar and the Budget cycle.

“I have stated clearly what the Cabinet position was. It was not a unanimous position but it was a posi-tion all the same,” he said.

Eldoret North MP William Ruto accused him of causing confusion by giving personal opinion instead of the official stand.

“The PM has told Kenyans how Kenyans should engage in elections based on manifestos, he has also ex-plained in detail that parties shouldn’t be ethnic based. Those are very good values given by the PM, but I don’t know whether the PM was listening to himself,” Mr Ruto said.

Gichugu MP Martha Karua agreed with Mr Odinga.

“A ruling of the court does not stop us from thinking and as a thinking Kenyan I disagree with that,” she stated, urging the government to go for December as set in the Constitution.

Cherengany MP Joshua Kutuny asked the PM to provide a roadmap to peaceful elections.

The PM cited laws enacted to fa-cilitate the process and activities at the electoral agency. The electoral commission is preparing for voter registration and is targeting 18 mil-lion voters, up from the current 12.4 million.

Doctors have faulted the national health insurer’s method of

allocating money to cover patients’ bills, saying it is not tenable.

Under the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) capi-tation method, a principal member is allocated Sh2,850 per year for outpatient care and an equivalent amount is extended for up to five for dependants.

This means a family of five dependants is allocated Sh14,250 in a year for their outpatient care.

According to the capita-tion schedules, the money is disbursed after every three months, translating to Sh712 for every principal member.

The Kenya Medical Prac-titioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU) says this amount is not practical to even treat a patient once, leave alone annually.

According to union treasurer Wambui Waithaka (above), most hospitals under the NHIF charge Sh500 as con-sultation fee and Sh900 for a laboratory test, where at least two tests are required bringing the patient’s bill to Sh2,300.

“The remaining Sh500 can by no means purchase a single course of antibiotics,” said Dr Waithaka.

Some hospitals under the NHIF scheme had resorted to providing patients with cheap drugs that are of questionable efficacy, the doctors said in a statement.

Further, the hospitals seg-gregate these patients by providing specific drug lists separate from those of other patients seeking care under different medical schemes, they stated.

“Discrimination amongst patients is obvious and implied as they are seen as second class patients. Some have separate queues and not subjected to the same atten-tion as the patients making payments through other means,” KMPDU said.

It added: “As the doctors of Kenya, we commend the nobility behind the launch of the medical cover for all civil servants through NHIF. This is a step towards achieving universal health care but we have noted major shortcom-ings in the implementation of the plan.”

Medical Services minister An-yang Nyong’o yesterday received rare support from Chepalungu MP Isaac Ruto on the controver-sial payments that the national health insurance provider made to some hospitals.

The support came just a day after the government shelved plans to increase the monthly contributions to the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).

Some MPs have also asked Prof Nyong’o to step aside to give way for investigations.

But at news conference at Parlia-ment Buildings in Nairobi, Mr Ruto backed the minister’s push for in-creased contribution to the NHIF, saying it was an “experiment” that if handled properly, would revolu-tionise the way the country’s health services were run.

Similar proposals“President Obama has met op-

position against a similar proposal in the US. When Ms Charity Ngilu was Minister of Health, she went through the same opposition, you’re now opposing Prof Nyong’o. If you make me a minister, I will also push for it, and you will op-pose it. But there’s no other way,” said the Chepalungu MP.

Critics of the scheme have doubted NHIF’s capacity to han-dle the increased contributions estimated to yield a total of Sh15 billion.

Cotu secretary general Francis Atwoli, who had called a workers’ strike before the contributions were suspended, said the money would be mismanaged.

Mr Ruto dismissed allegations that NHIF paid money to non-existent clinics as “some hyped, sensational issues that may not have been investigated deeply”.

“All this is hullabaloo with very little evidence. If indeed there’s evidence that money was stolen, I am yet to see it. I have gone through what is being called as evidence, but it is not sufficient,” said Mr Ruto.

He went on: “These are allega-tions, yet you want people hanged. A driver hits someone on the road and you want him lynched without asking if it is the person who threw himself on the road,” he said.

Many private health providers declined to participate in the National Health Insurance Fund scheme because the money it offered was inadequate.

The providers said they felt the Sh2,850 that was being allocated per member per year was too little.

Dr Peter Omboga, secretary general of the Association of Kenya Pri-vate Hospitals, told MPs yesterday that the offer was not workable and tak-ing it would mean rationing services to maximize on profits, which would defeat the purpose of the scheme.

A demand of Sh6,000- Sh9,000 per person per year was the deal breaker, he said.

Dr Omboga said some of their members eventually came down to Sh4,000- Sh4,500 which they felt would allow them to just offer essential services without any profit.

He said at one point the

association considered tak-ing NHIF to court over its decision to work with Clinix Healthcare Ltd and Merid-ian Medical Group.

The two who scooped a big share of the funds provided for the scheme are not members of the association.

Meeting the parliamen-tary committee on Health, the association said apart from issues of capacity and presence around the coun-try, they felt that some of the outlets of Clinix Health-care and Meridian Medical Group did not go through the due process of accredi-tation as is the practice in the health sector.

He said the association thought of taking legal action against NHIF but pulled back to give the scheme a chance since it was an attempt to offer universal healthcare to Kenyans.

The providers met the parliamentary team to shed light on ongoing in-vestigations into alleged irregularities in the NHIF outpatient scheme for pub-lic servants.

The committee had been informed that most private health facilities were unable to meet the requirements for inclusion in the new outpatient scheme.

“We were very supportive of the scheme, the problem we had was the manner in which it was being done,” said Dr Kanyenje Gakombe, the vice chairman of the as-sociation.

The owner of a popular city club and a security guard were yesterday brought to court over allegations of killing a patron at the bar.

Mr Jackson Maina Wangui, the owner of Club Click on Baricho Road, and Mr Joseph Kirero Sepi, a bouncer, how-ever did not plead to any charges since police are still carrying out investigations to identify their alleged victim.

According to state counsel Catherine Mwaniki, police can only draw up proper charges after identifying the victim.

The accused, she said, were brought to court only

to comply with the consti-tutional provision that an arrested person must be produced in court within 24

hours and requested for more time to allow the identification of the deceased.

Investigating officer John Shegu requested the court to detain the accused for seven days to enable the police fi-nalise investigations including recording statements, con-

ducting postmortem, mental assessment and elimination of fingerprints. Ms Mwaniki added that the victim of the shooting had no documents with him.

Oppose bailHis identity will only be es-

tablished if his fingerprints are taken to the National Bureau of Registration, a process which takes four days.

Their lawyer Cliff Ombeta opposed the prosecution’s application saying it was a breach of his clients rights and they should be released.

However, Justice Nicholas Ombija ruled the two be re-manded until May 15.

The Nairobi Securities Ex-change has suspended trading in Kenol Kobil

shares, a day after the oil mar-keter’s key owners announced plans to sell their stake in the firm.

In a statement signed by chief executive Peter Mwangi, the NSE said the oil company’s shares will remain suspended from the exchange indefinitely.

“The Nairobi Securities Ex-change in consultation with the Capital Markets Authority has suspended trading of the Kenol Kobil shares. This is pursuant to the provisions of the Capi-tal Markets Regulations 2002,” read the statement.

The market regulator may require the exchange to sus-

pend trading of a listed share incase of acquisitions, merg-ers or takeovers. A share can also be suspended if the listed company is put under statutory management, receivership or liquidated.

On Tuesday, Kenol Kobil

,which is valued at Sh18.3 billion, published a statement in the local dailies alerting shareholders of a plan by the company’s key shareholders to sell their shares to Switzerland- based oil firm Puma Energy.

“The transaction will enable the firm to expand its footprint in the region,” said Kenol Kobil chief executive and chairman Jacob Segman.

But with the contemplated offer, Puma Energy is seem-ingly interested in an eventual take-over of the oil marketer contrary to the earlier proposed search for a strategic investor and partner.

It also remains unclear which shareholders signed the exclusive agreement with Puma Energy but sources close to the deal told Nation that all the five key shareholders have offered to give up their stake in the oil firm.

“All the top five shareholders will give up their shareholding to Puma. It is on this basis that Puma will then make an offer to buy out the remaining share-holders,” said a source close to the deal but who sought anonymity.

Judiciary tenders for low cost courthouses

The Judiciary has invited ten-ders for the construction of low cost courthouses in various coun-ties. In a paid-up advertisement in local dailies yesterday, the Ju-diciary said the first batch of the prefabricated buildings would be put up at Limuru, Tawa and Kib-era in a bid to ease congestion. However, only contractors with a “clean” record on past public projects will be considered in the multi-million shilling project that is expected to be rolled out to all 47 counties.

BY RICHARD MUNGUTIrmunguti@ke.nationmedia.com

Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga will be charged with robbery

with violence.This is after the Director

of Public Prosecutions, Mr Keriako Tobiko, ordered that a case against Mr Njenga and four others proceeds.

Mr Tobiko had reprimanded the police two weeks ago for not consulting his office before prosecuting Mr Njenga.

“I have been instructed by the Director of Public Prosecutions to inform this court that the case against the accused should pro-ceed to its logical conclusion,” State counsel Lilian Obuor told trial magistrate Elijah Obaga yesterday.

The former Mungiki leader is accused alongside Mr Francis Mwangi, Mr Daniel Wanjohi, Mr Ngare Njogu and Mr Stephen Kuria Mwangi of attacking four police officers and robbing them of their guns in a city church.

Mrs Obuor sought an order to have the suspects record fresh statements and have their fin-gerprints taken.

But defence lawyers Paul Muite, Cliff Ombeta and Evans

Ondieki opposed the request, accusing the police of rushing the suspects to court before completing investigations.

“The hurry with which the po-lice dashed the accused to court cannot be a good reason to request that they submit again for further investigations. Police should have taken their fingerprints before arraigning them,” Mr Muite said, arguing that police should charge a suspect only upon completion of investigations.

“It is against the spirit of the Constitution to ask a court to hand over a suspect to the officers to complete their inves-tigations,” Mr Muite stated.

In a brief ruling, Mr Obaga de-clined the State’s request, saying “the police have themselves to blame for not completing the

investigations before charging the suspects in court”.

The magistrate fixed the hear-ing of the case for July 9.

Mr Obaga also directed the State to supply the defence with exhibits and witness statements within 14 days to enable the ac-cused to prepare their trial.

Eight counts The five denied eight counts

against them and were each released on a cash bail of Sh200,000.

The capital offence against them carries a death sentence upon conviction.

They are alleged to have sub-dued four policemen who were answering a distress call at the Hope International Ministries Church in Kasarani, Nairobi,

on April 22. The suspects have denied robbing police officers Dalmas Muthoka, Edwin Koech, Gregory Nzioka and Moses Mwangi of cash, guns and live bullets in the church.

They also denied robbing Mr Joseph Thuo of cash and damag-ing his car worth Sh5.2 million on April 22.

Other charges against them are unlawful confinement of the law enforcers and malicious dam-age to government and private vehicles.

After yesterday’s court session Mr Njenga addressed and prayed for hundreds of youths, who had thronged the court precincts in solidarity with him.

He urged them to disperse peacefully until June 8, when the case will be mentioned.

BY NATION REPORTER

Cabinet ministers yesterday defeated spirited attempts by backbenchers to block debate on President Kibaki’s State of the Nation address made a fortnight ago.

Hawkish backbenchers said debating the speech was a relic of the old dispensation.

They said the way Vice-Presi-dent Kalonzo Musyoka framed his prayers was typical of the Kanu era where debate on the President’s speech was a time for sycophants to sing their praises.

Mr John Mbadi, Mr Ekwee Ethuro, Dr Boni Khalwale and Mr Adan Duale said the government was wasting MPs’ time by insisting on debating government agenda.

Wednesday mornings are set aside for MPs to debate motions from the backbench. The MPs said the new dispen-sation only recognised a motion to have the President’s address adopted and not discussed.

The House rules give a maxi-mum four days within which to discuss the speech, which was made on April 24.

“The Leader of Government Business should relook this mo-tion because, from the way it is framed, the co-principals and their ministers are all stuck in the past. What we’re doing here is what used to happen in the Kanu days,” said Dr Khalwale (below).

However, when temporary Deputy Speaker Philip Kaloki put the matter to a verbal vote, the backbenchers lost.

Bid to block debate on President’s speech fails

Victims of the Sinai slum fire have sued the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) for loss and

damages.The 102 victims say the KPC, City

Council of Nairobi and National En-vironmental Management Authority (Nema) should be held responsible for negligence and breach of statutory duties that resulted in the fire.

The victims, who are represented by six lawyers led by Mr Paul Muite, submitted that at the time of the fire, they were occupants, workers or visi-tors in the Sinai Settlement Scheme near Industrial Area in Nairobi.

“On September 12, 2011, while the victims were in their residences, KPC negligently and in breach of its duties allowed flammable petroleum products to run through waste water drainage dug by the CCN, which burned the victims and caused massive damage to property,” said Mr Muite.

The victims accuse KPC of failing to store a highly flammable liquid in a proper manner and letting it escape.

They say the company did not keep its machinery, plant and pipes in a proper state of maintenance and failed to warn or notify them of the impending danger.

The victims accuse the city council of building a waste water shaft through

the area and allowing KPC to use the duct to dispose of its waste.

“The council failed to ensure the waste water tunnel was in good condition and through negligence, exposed the victims to hazardous waste from the pipeline company,” said Mr Muite.

Nema is accused of failing to en-sure that KPC disposed of its waste in a proper manner and not warning residents of the dangers they were exposed to.

The victims said Nema should be held responsible for not taking adequate measures to safeguard the area inhabited by Sinai residents and for failing to instruct CCN to ensure the waste disposal tunnels were in good condition.

As a result of the alleged negligence and breach of statutory duties by KPC, CCN and Nema, the victims claim they suffered loss of life to friends and rela-tives, incurred burns and body injuries and loss of property.

“Some victims were working as masons to earn a living but as a re-sult of the burns, they have not been able to work while others will require medical attention for the rest of their lives,” said Mr Muite.

The victims submitted that despite a demand notice to KPC, CCN and Nema of their intention to sue, the parties had refused to reply or take

their claims seriously.The September 12, 2011, tragedy

claimed 119 lives and left scores with severe burns.

The fire happened after oil that had spilled from a leak in the pipe-line ignited.

The electoral commission will today meet MPs to discuss a Sh4.5 billion shortfall which it

says threatens to disrupt the General Election plan.

The Treasury has allocated the In-dependent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Sh17.5 billion in the 2012/2013 budget, less than the Sh22 billion it says it requires to conduct free and fair polls.

The commission and the parlia-mentary Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs confirmed that today’s meeting would discuss the electoral budget.

Githunguri MP Njoroge Baiya, who chairs the parliamentary team, said: “We will discuss their budget includ-ing the proposals by the Treasury.”

Efficient electionsIn an earlier interview, IEBC chief

executive officer James Oswago had said the commission needed Sh22 billion to conduct the elections ef-ficiently.

“This is the money needed to com-pile a new voters’ register occasioned by the creation of 80 new constituen-cies, buying poll books, ballot papers, carrying out a fresh voter registration and paying the clerks,” Mr Oswago had told the Nation.

The commission will hire more than 500,000 election officials and erect

45,000 polling booths to ensure that Kenyans vote on one day during the General Election.

The IEBC will also have to increase the number of booths to three or four per polling centre as opposed to past elections where only one booth ca-tered for all the registered voters in a centre.

Mr Oswago disclosed that 360,000 clerks, 90,000 deputy presiding of-ficers and 45,000 presiding officers would be hired to handle the six-tier election.

The numbers were arrived at after

recent mock elections in Kajiado and Malindi.

“We realised that it will take be-tween 15 minutes and half an hour for an average voter to go through the voting process. Increasing the number of streams will speed up the process,” he said, adding: “This money will be spread through two financial years — 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. We are in discussions with the Treasury to see how we can meet the deficit.”

Unlike in the past elections when Kenyans were only required to elect the President, MPs and council-

lors, they will be expected to pick governors, senators and women’s representatives in the next polls.

Mr Oswago said the commission targeted to register 18 million voters to take part in the March 4, 2013 elec-tions. At least Sh4.5 billion would be used to pay electoral officials during the voter listing.

Another Sh2.5 billion has been set aside for a possible runoff.

“We shall also invest Sh3.5 billion for the biometric (electronic) voter registration and another Sh1.5 billion for a poll book,” he said.

A poll book is a machine used to inspect fingerprints to avoid double voting and stuffing of ballots, as well as to track the number of people who vote by any given time.

A woman who camped at the Jomo Kenyatta International Air-port for several days before she was taken to jail has been allowed to sue the state for free.

Mr Justice David Majanja yes-terday certified the case by Ms Agnes Nemakonde Galawu, who is challenging a six-month jail term imposed on her by the Immigration minister, as urgent.

She wants to be released on less restrictive non-custodial terms or on a temporary pass, pending the determination of her status.

Justice Majanja directed lawyer John Chigiti representing Ms Galawu, 43, to file the main case free of charge. She is in detention at Lang’ata Women’s Prison.

Ms Galawu, who claims to be a citizen of Zimbabwe, was arrested on April 10 and taken to the prison under the Immigration minister’s directive after spending several days at the airport.

She now wants the directive reviewed, saying it was unfair.

Lawyer Chigiti told the court that Ms Galawu is a destitute in a foreign land and her rights under the Constitution and The Kenyan Citizens and Immigrations Act have been violated.

“The petitioner was not given reasons for the imprisonment and she was not given a chance to be heard before the directive was is-sued,” said Mr Chigiti.

The case will be heard on May 14.

The 22nd World Economic Forum (WEF) is meeting in

the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.

There have been a lot of articles and programmes in world media about how the WEF is taking place in Addis Ababa at a time when the “continent is poised for economic takeoff”, and when it has “six of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies”, and so on. The idea that Africa’s time has arrived is firmly taking hold.

However, the continent still has the world’s poorest people, its sickest citizens, most “failed” states, and lowest level of investment in research and development.

So, everyone agrees, we need to fix a few more things before we can rule the world.

I listened to a radio programme in which the presenter asked; “what are the two things Africa needs to fix to become rich?” Tough question.

However, I have my two ideas. In the last few days floods (both flash and non-flash floods) have killed at least 50 people in Kenya.

It occurred to me to check the number of people who have died at the coast where thousands cross with the Likoni ferry to and from work daily; go out fishing

for a living; and so on.I couldn’t find a current

figure. However, sometime back police said that in an ordinary year an average of 20 people drown around the areas of Mombasa, Malindi, Kilifi, and so on.

Occasionally, you have a boat or ferry disaster and over 100 people die. However, that doesn’t happen every day or even year, so let us stick with an ordinary year.

The issue here is that in Kenya, and most of Africa, water is more likely to kill you when you live on land, then when you live or work on water.

So the first answer is that if Africa can conquer water, it will become the world’s richest continent.

In floods, we die and eventually go hungry because the water ruins our crops.

When the water goes away, and it becomes

dry, we die in even larger numbers from famine because we didn’t harness water while it was around in plenty. It’s a good statement of Africa’s inability to profit from its gifts.

Also, more than 50 per cent of Africans don’t have access to clean water, a fact that accounts for a lot of our diseases and lost man hours.

I read somewhere that the United Nations estimates that sub-Saharan Africa alone loses 40 billion hours per year collecting water; that’s the same as a whole year’s worth of labour by France’s entire workforce!

In addition, the World Health Organisation says that for every $1 invested in water and sanitation, there is an economic return of between $3 and $34! We shall say no more.

The second thing Africa needs to fix is security of individuals. This means many things, but two examples will:

Our institutions are generally weak, badly run, and corrupt. However, in nearly all of eastern Africa a woman is more likely to be raped or battered by her partner when she is a free individual in society, than when she is a prisoner.

That our women are generally safer in our bad

prisons than out there in society says volumes about the failure of the state and public institutions (police, courts, churches, mosques, civil society) whose duty it is to protect people, as much as the withering of our social institutions (family, neighbourhoods).

Again, prison is a “better” place for poor people too. They are more likely to have at least one meal in two days, and a roof over their head in prison – never that it will be in a horribly crowded cell –than as free people out in society.

There are many people who would say the second most important thing Africa needs to fix is its democracy. The problem is that democracy is subverted most by insecurity.

The most insecure time for the average Africa is during what is supposed to a transformative moment – election time. If you are a Kenyan or Ugandan, for example, you are more likely to be beaten, cheated, or killed during elections – and especially on voting day and after results have been announced – than at any period.

So water and security it is. We rest our case.

World Economic Forum on Africa:Secret of how we can grow very rich

Are they still Kenyans?

News stories illustrating insecurity in the forgotten reaches of Kenya have now become daily staple. Accounts of rampant

banditry, cattle-rustling, clan or ethnic feuds from northern and eastern Kenya are common.

Tuesday had reports of 2,000 people being forced to flee their homes due to rampant cattle-rustling in Baringo North.

Earlier reports from the same area recounted how armed raiders surrounded an Administration Police camp and tied down the security officers with gunfire before driving away livestock.

In Marsabit on Monday, three children herding goats were killed in a brutal fashion, their throats slit by assailants who disappeared.

On Tuesday, there was the bizarre tale of a bunch of schoolboys in Isiolo who turned cattle-rustlers, and made off with 400 goats after abducting their schoolmates who were on herding duties.

Reports of unchecked violence continue to flow fast and furious into newsrooms from Baringo, Pokot, Isiolo, Marsabit, Turkana, Tana River, Moyale and the entire North Eastern region.

Residents of those neglected, forgotten, unpoliced and ungoverned areas would be forgiven if they believed they were no longer part of Kenya.

County funds must be handled delicately

A proposal on the sharing of public funds among counties has raised serious debate, with critics faulting it for favouring

economically-endowed regions.Essentially, the proposal by the Commission

of Revenue Allocation provides for higher disbursements to the densely populated compared to the sparsely populated regions.

The Commission estimates that the government will have to allocate Sh200 billion for the counties, slightly above the 15 per cent of the total revenue generated in any given year.

For good reasons, the proposal has generated a lot of heat, with some politicians threatening to shoot it down when it is tabled in Parliament.

They argue the formula is unfair to poor counties, most of which are sparsely populated. Thus, they are asking for a review of the formula to include variables like poverty levels, geographical and even climatic conditions.

Sharing public resources is fraught with challenges. No single formula can work miracles, more so in a situation of mistrust and intolerance. This is especially so in a country that is coming out of a dark past, where resources followed political power.

In response, the Commission proposes a co-ordination committee whose task will be to focus on the disbursement of Equalisation Fund, which is additional cash earmarked for poor counties.

The idea of a committee is reasonable because it serves the constitutional requirement stipulating that decisions on cash allocations must involve many players and must be done equitably.

But even the committee is not enough. The Commission must find more innovative ways of involving the public. If there is one thing that could derail devolution, it is resource allocation. It must therefore be handled very sensitively.

DAILY NATIONThursday May 10, 201212 | Opinion

YOU’RE WRONG, PROF | Fredrick Ogenga

I will not apologise for beginning this article by demolishing two

potentially misleading assertions by Prof Levi Obonyo in an article titled “Media and Elections: Our journalists must follow the rules to prevent chaos” (DN, May 2).

Although the general tone and angle of the article is commendable, the two issues raised in his thesis are problematic. The first is how he conceptualises the media and audiences (electorate).

The former are assumed to be a homogenous entity that serve an undifferentiated “mass” of audiences. The media in Kenya are diverse and serve the interests of fragmented audiences with different needs. And so, what does he really mean when he talks of the media?

The second issue is the assertion that “the media do not manufacture what they report; the responsibility for peaceful elections lies in the political class, who, in any case, set the agenda for the media”.

Theoretically, the agenda-setting theory is time-worn. The media must refuse to accept the agenda of politicians and instead set the agenda for them through issue-based politics. The media surely manufacture consent through what they

report. To reject that fact, while at the same time claiming that they rely on the agenda set by politicians, betrays the very essence of the argument presented.

It is the political-nonsense, dramatised during election campaigns that the media use as raw material for the construction of “reality” or what they call “news” to sell their stories.

So genuine questions should concern the factors that make journalists construct news stories in a similar fashion using the information they get from politicians.

The answers to such questions will necessary lead the discourse to obvious factors that influence media operation and agency as rightly pointed out by media

scholars such as Stuart Hall, Michael Schudson, and my colleague, Prof Tawana Kupe.

There are some institutional mechanisms that determine journalistic practice shaped by political, economic and cultural factors. These mechanisms greatly influence journalists in the process of news production.

Furthermore, journalism is undergoing a major transformation and we have seen the emergence of new kind of journalistic practice (citizen journalism) through social networks such as blogs, Facebook and Twitter.

So when we discuss the role of the media and elections and demand that journalists follow the rules, what media are we referring to, which journalists are we cautioning and what rules do we have in mind?

These are issues that are clearly beyond the scope of agenda-setting.

Prof Obonyo’s arguments are confined in approaches of understanding mainstream traditional media and risks being caught up in what I would call the “McLuhan-Williams problematic”.

Marshall McLuhan and Kevin Williams presented a dichotomy in understanding new media as they sought to explore the best possibilities of understanding its character and culture (cyber-culture), the emergence of cybercitizens

and the diffusion of power. McLuhan presents the idea

of technological determinism, which is premised on the physical or natural sciences approach to epistemology where cause and effect are established.

The approach led to the birth of media effects theories where agenda setting was popular. The idea that x causes y, emerging from the realm of “physical facts”, was experimented on by early media scholars in the US who concluded that television causes violence – an idea that was later rejected.

The new media have changed the character and conduct of politicians, electorate and journalists, and it seems there is no turning back.

Is there any cause for celebrating such changes? Or should we now police the Internet? Though independent regulators are welcome to monitor the conduct of the media, cosmetic measures such as those proposed by the Media Council of Kenya should be carefully scrutinised since they can be used as mechanisms for the abuse of power.

Dr Ogenga is a lecturer in Communication and Media Technology, Maseno University, and a visiting scholar in media and sociology, Boston University, USA.

What ongoing transformation of the Kenyan media means for the electorate

A Facebook enthusiast is happy with what she has been reading.

I reject the argument that because Article 2(6) of the Constitution gives ratified treaties the force of statute

law, the Mombasa Republican Council or anybody has a right to secede, simply because Kenya has ratified international treaties which recognise the right of self-determination for all peoples.

The international law protects the territorial integrity of just democratic states. Kenya’s Constitution does not explicitly recognise the right to secession.

Indeed, the Preamble proclaims our desire “… to live in peace and unity as one indivisible sovereign nation,” and Article 255(1)(b) prohibits any constitutional amendment affecting Kenya’s territory, without approval through a referendum.

Besides endorsing the reality that the State is united by consent and not force, the fact that the Constitution does not prohibit amendment to any matters, including of Kenya’s territory, means that, implicitly, even if inadvertently, it recognises a procedural right to secession.

That right is not substantive, absolute, unilateral or unlimited. It is heavily qualified by the imposition of procedural hurdles, allowing the Kenyan State to use the rule of law to control the secession process through consensual negotiation.

Thus, the MRC is clearly within its right to demand secession if it feels that the Constitution’s devolution, checks and

balances, entrenchment of civil rights and liberties, recognition of marginalised groups, integrity requirements, promise of democratic elections, and judicial review powers can’t address historical injustices.

However, the MRC must strictly follow the concrete procedure on how to secede. They should raise one million signatures and get the support of at least 24 county assemblies (Article 257).

Alternatively, they can ask Parliament to initiate the move (Article 256). Then, to be approved, the secession must be supported by a simple majority at a referendum in which at least 20 per cent of registered voters in each of at least 24 counties must participate (Article 255(2)).

It cannot secede unilaterally without the consent of, or negotiation with, the remaining Kenyan State.

The rebellious chant that Pwani si

Kenya is poetry not logic; and to repudiate their obligation to obey the State’s laws amounts to seceding unilaterally.

In that case, Kenya will have little choice but to engage in warfare with the MRC to determine which side wins control of the contested, seceding territory. And that will produce nothing but evil unmitigated in character and appalling in content.

Finally, the key argument of the MRC that the treaty colonial Britain signed with the Sultan of Zanzibar allows them to secede, fails to recognise the fact that, throughout history, such offers of secession rights have often been used as a tactic to attract smaller groups into a larger political union.

However, once the political union is attained, the right of secession is often delegitimised, either through practical politics or legal repeal, and attempts to secede result most often in a war by the central state to preserve political union.

For example, while the US Constitution implied a lawful right of a member State to secede, President Abraham Lincoln responded to the secession of the Southern states with a war that preserved the Union and effectively settled the constitutional right of secession.

Though the Postal Corporation of Kenya has noted Karen Lang’ata District Association chairman Vincent Kambo’s query on the recent change of rental boxes from individual to corporate rates in select post offices in Nairobi, it has been suspended for a while. On March 27, a spokesman says, Posta issued a notice of the change that was effected on May 1. The post offices are Westlands, Village Market, Karen, Yaya Centre, and Lavington Jamia Mall.

TAKING IT TOO EASY. Popular public transporter Easy Coach has been doing an excellent job but its high standards are now being undermined by lateness, says Ken Ayieko. On May 7, the bus going to Siaya, on which his son travelled, left the Nairobi terminus at 10.30am instead of 9.30am. As a result, the bus reached its destination late and his son had to sleep in the company’s lounge. “Now, we have to explain to the school why the boy did not report on time,” laments Ken, whose contact is ken.ayieko@yahoo.co.uk.

FIX THIS STRETCH. Can the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) fix the 30-metre stretch of Outer Ring road adjacent to National Petrol Station and the new Taj Mall building, which looks worse than the “lunar surfaces we see in pictures”? urges Bernard Ochieng. The section, he adds, is a major culprit in the endemic traffic jams, some lasting about 15 hours daily. Ochieng says KURA should make the section motorable before the planned major reconstruction of Outer Ring Road begins.

NO WATER IN UMOJA. For about three weeks now, the residents of Umoja estate in Nairobi’s Eastlands have not had any water, yet the city has been awash with floods as the rains have been falling day and night, moans Eliakim Diang’a. If Nairobi Water Company is unable to supply all its customers, Eliakim proposes, the Ministry of Water or the water board in charge of the city should enable them to treat and use rain water. His contact is Tel 0722854221.

WHERE IS OGUNA? With the Kenya Defence Forces having joined Amisom, David Motari says he misses eloquent spokesman Cyrus Oguna’s press briefings on the progress in the military campaign in Somalia. “My favourite spokesman has been given a blackout and yet, as a patriot, I deserve to know what is going on in Somalia, even if our troops have become a part of Unisom. Or could our forces have just secretly pulled out of that country altogether?” asks David, whose contact is dmots2005@yahoo.com.

DRIVERS TO BLAME. The real cause of the traffic jams in Nairobi is not the rain or the roundabouts, but failure by most drivers to observe a simple traffic rule that works like magic: Do Not Enter a Junction Unless the Exit is Clear, says Peter James Karanja. Peter would like to see all the junctions marked with the caution, No Stationary Vehicle in This Box, and those found to have flouted this rule severely punished. “The traffic jams will be greatly reduced,” says Peter, whose contact is pkaranjaj@yahoo.co.uk.

DAILY NATIONThursday May 10, 2012 Opinion 13

The ugly, primitive war of words between the camps of Prime

Minister Raila Odinga and his former ally Musalia Mudavadi are unfortunate.

This bitter exchange, if not checked, poses a threat to peaceful campaigns. It’s likely to poison the already volatile and toxic political environment, further polarising and dividing our motherland. The overall consequences are too grave to contemplate.

We do not need political squab-bles when we are facing the tragedy of insecurity, landslides, road ac-cidents, massive official corruption and unprecedented impunity.

We are fatigued by the never-ending drama in the political arena.We are not amused at all with this new-found tactic of hitting political opponents below the belt.

And the venomous unorthodox responses ignore the truism that two wrongs don’t make a right.

ENOCK ONSANDO, Mombasa

Address issuesThe two spokesmen — Kabatesi

and Muluka — should tell Ken-yans what their respective bosses are committing to do for Kenya if elected president.

What are they going to do about jobs, crime, poverty, cor-ruption, inflation, tribalism, laws, prices, tourism, education, roads, foreign policy, trade, national debt and loan interests?

If they can’t address these issues, they should just shut up.

ANDAYI MUSHENYE, Texas, USA

Shallow politicsThe recent bitter exchange be-

tween PM Raila Odinga and the DPM Musalia Mudavadi presents an opportunity for the public to vet these two presidential candidates.

But the call by Mr Mudavadi ask-ing the PM to retire alongside the President is shallow politics. The PM is not the incumbent President, and so is not bound by the constitu-tional two-term limit.

Again, the DPM has been part of the coalition government. What has he done to uplift lives that he can use as the basis for asking his boss to retire?

We need to hear politics driven

by ideologies, not personal attacks. Amid all the poverty, where do you get the time for rhetoric and per-sonal attacks gentlemen?

PATRICK MUTUA, Kibwezi

Sour grapesAfter Musalia Mudavadi’s depar-

ture, ODM has been behaving like a jilted spouse. Accusations against Mr Mudavadi have been fast and furious. He has been described as weak, cowardly, a traitor, a project and corrupt to boot.

Did he acquire these negative traits overnight after leaving ODM? It’s a case of sour grapes.

YESTERDAY’S QUESTION

Was the PM right to overrule Nyong’o and appoint a new team to run NHIF?JOHN KEGODE: It was right for the PM to overrule Prof Nyong’o. ODM as the appointing authority would appear to be making money for elections which could portray the party negatively to the elector-ate who are the contributors to NHIF.ANTHONY GITTENS: The PM clearly

found Prof Nyong’o’s decision incompetent and was right to overrule it. It is time the professor was replaced.KOGI JAMLICK: Yes, the PM was right to appoint a new team, since the NHIF saga needs to be investigated by a new and in-dependent team.

ISAIAH OSALAH: Yes, “Dr” PM is 100 per cent right and he has the mandate.VICTOR ABUKA: He was not right. He insulated Prof Nyongo instead of firing him.

CHARLES NZIOKA: Yes. The whole saga called for PM’s intervention.

The lackadaisical approach to erecting buildings in Kenya is alarm-ing, and is increasingly testing thepatience of Kenyans.

It is regrettable that many more buildings continue to collapse, lead-ing to loss of lives and wasted man-hours.

We are eager to see this stemmed, as greed from building owners bent on hurriedly finishing the work in order to start making money is alarming. The thought that most are driven by greed at the expense of meeting safety standards is sicken-ing. And as demonstrated by the Westlands building, such collapses are not the preserve of slums.

The circus that is the NHIF saga would be hilarious, if it was not that the very lives of Kenyans is on the clinics. The circus crew have just started unpacking their props and related paraphernalia, on who is go-ing to investigate the muck.

This country has many investigat-ing agencies — and counting — that soon, for every 100 Kenyans, one will be an investigator: EMU, Ethics and Anti-Corruption, CID, Commit-tees of Parliament, National Audit Office, DPP, internal investigation at the troubled NHIF...

In all this does, anyone detect the interest of the Kenyan?

GACHIENGO GITAU, Nairobi

Wanted: Agency to take up NHIF investigations

The story about MP Asman Kama-ma’s (East Pokot) reaction to a dem-onstration in Baringo North (Nation, May 8) begged questions.

The assistant minister roundly condemned what he termed “rowdy mob” for blocking Loruk-Kinyang Road, but he should be reminded that the “mob” was protesting be-cause the rights of the people of Baringo North have been violated by their neighbours - the Pokot - time and again through cattle theft and killing of herders.

When the aggrieved demand pro-tection by the government, the min-ister derisively calls them a “rowdy mob”. Why has he chosen to demon-ise the victim?

KIPTURGO MATHEW, Baringo

WRITING PASSION: From its conciliatory tone, columnist Philip Ochieng’s “sometimes I got it wrong, but it was not out of malice” Sunday Nation, May 6) one would think he was quitting journalism. But it reminded me of another story where he claimed the Maragoli don’t circumcise. So chagrined was I that I wrote to the Nation, challenging that observation. My rebuttal gave rise to a passion for writing that I never knew existed. I must thank Mr Ochieng’ and NMG for igniting my writing passion.

ALEXANDER CHAGEMA, Kakamega

SHODDY REPAIRS: Recently the contractor who wins virtually all road works in Western was paid a Sh1.2 billion to recarpet the road. If what I saw and heard Roads minister Bett saying in the media is anything to go by. However, the contractor has began doing what he does best: filling minor potholes, conveniently skipping huge ones like ones near i-Source Centre and at Ojolla Mar-ket. Can someone tell us why this contractor always does mediocre jobs? Why do engineers briskly sign certificates of completion?

OKORE CHARLES, Maseno

POOR LAND GRABBERS: Yester-day in Bombolulu we witnessed a worrying trend in Coast where illegal squatters protest against law-ful evictions and forcibly stay on in private land with the support of local politicians amid threats to involve the MRC. They first erect mud struc-tures to test the waters, then gradu-ally move on to brick and stone. You will not miss a church in the mix for sympathy points against owners who used their savings and loans. They are greedy opportunists hoping to live without paying a cent. Being poor does not make one above the law. And it’s not a crime to be rich.

MARTIN MAKUNDI, Mombasa

Secure the statues of Kenya’s national heroes for posterity

I was shocked to see and read about the statue of Tom Mboya in Nairobi’s Moi Avenue whose plaque was missing (Nation, May 8). I believe this is not the intended way of honouring our heroes.

Vandalism at the heart of the capital city must be a big joke and those sleeping on their job must wake up to catch these thieves.

I believe this and other areas with statues should be provided with security and 24-hour CCTV cameras.

Our children will love to see how the heroes looked like because they died before many were born.

SHEM MUTULU, Nairobi

Open up drainage systems to save residents from floods

Mombasa residents watch in disbelief the sad me-dia images of Nairobi residents almost submerged. Nairobi is now a city in the floods, not in the sun.

Streets have become rivers. Man and machine swim in the streams, sometimes never to come out alive. Jams extend late into the night. I think boats will become handy, if this unusual weather condition continues a little longer. What is the cause of all this? Piles of garbage have blocked drainage systems, and illegal structures block waterways. Over to the city council.

BY ALPHONCE SHIUNDU ashiundu@ke.nationmedia.com

The Orange party yester-day notified Parliament of its intention to push

the Treasury to release Sh17.6 billion owed to teachers who retired between 1997 and 2003.

Mr John Pesa (Migori) filed the notice which, he said, was sponsored by ODM and seeks to have the 31,082 teachers paid following a court decision in their favour.

Mr Pesa said it was essential that the teachers be paid even though some of them could be dead due to the tough life they had been forced to endure.

Risked being returnedHe said Sh3.34 billion had

been allocated in the last Budget and the money risked being returned to the Treasury at the end of the current finan-cial year.

“Mindful that the delay in payment has caused the parties untold suffering, this House urges the government to pay retired teachers their dues without further delay,” said Mr Pesa (right).

The resolution is set for de-bate in the House next week.

The teachers were paid their pensions based on the salary they earned before re-tirement. They subsequently went to court to have their salary issue adjudicated since the 1997 agreement in Legal Notice No 534 of 1997 had not been honoured by the Moi ad-

ministration.In 2003, the Kibaki admin-

istration negotiated another agreement with the teachers which has been fully imple-mented.

But there was a legal hitch when it came to payment this year. Under the new dispen-sation, any payment must be authorised by the Controller of Budget, Ms Agnes Odhiambo, who says she will not approve any withdrawal of the money until she gets the Attorney-General’s legal opinion.

The AG’s opinion is required because during the court case, no mention was made of the Pensions Act, creating a legal hitch.

Finance minister Njeru Githae said as soon as this hitch was sorted out, the money would be disbursed. “The Teachers Service Commission and Pensions Department have agreed on the modalities of pay-ment which will start as soon as the Controller of Budget ap-proves the withdrawal of funds from the Consolidated Fund,” said Mr Githae in February.

A warrant of arrest has been issued against 11 officials of a multi-billion shil-ling cooperative society.

Two others are to be served with sum-mons in connection with embezzlement of Sh11,924,126 from Harambee Sacco.

Issuing the order, Nairobi chief mag-istrate Esther Maina said Mr Franklin Muchiri, who works with the International Labour Organisation in Ethiopia and Mr E. Okonji of Public Works ministry are to be served with the summons..

This followed the prosecution of the case privately on behalf of sacco member Geof-frey Ontieri by lawyer Kirathe Wandugi.

Monthly contributionsThe sacco savings are estimated to be

Sh8 billion, with monthly contributions of more than Sh500 million. Police offic-ers, military personnel and civil servants form the bulk of members.

The 11 officials are to be charged with three counts of stealing by agents, fraud and obtaining money by false pretences.

“You are hereby commanded forthwith

to apprehend the said and to bring them before this court to answer to the said charges and to be further dealt with ac-cording to the law,” Ms Maina said in the warrants signed on May 2.

Mr Macloud Malonza, Ms Belinda Oguya, Mr Muchiri, Mr Meshack Nyan-gute, Lt Col Richard Ngovi, Mr Charles Konzolo, Ms Nyambura Weru, Mr Joe Ouko, Mr Charles Geni, Mr Ambrose Oloo, Major Dennis Makau and Mr Humprey Ogeto, who are Harambee sacco board members, are accused of stealing Sh1,290,950.

The Kenya Wildlife Service will increase the number of rangers and buy more helicop-ters as part of a new strategy to combat poaching.

KWS director Julius Kipnget-ich said yesterday that poachers had killed four rhinos and 70 elephants this year. Five rang-ers have also been murdered while the wildlife unit has killed 13 poachers.

He said at a press briefing in Nairobi yesterday that the ratio of rangers to rhinos would be increased for easy tracking of the animals.

“We now have two rangers

assigned to take care of one rhino unlike in the past where we had only one ranger for one rhino,” he said.

Surveillance in parks and airports will also be stepped up to ensure illegal game hunt-ers do not benefit from their activities. KWS plans to buy a third helicopter fitted with high lens cameras to help in surveillance.

The poachers, he added, were a threat to Kenya’s economy as they could easily kill the lucrative tourism in-dustry. The director blamed the increase in poaching to increased prices if ivory.

Last year, 278 elephants were killed.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI) FOR TRAINING

DAILY NATIONThursday May 10, 2012 17

But Ms Mugambi said that breast milk was the best food for the child until six months because it not only served as food, but also provided the much needed immunity the newborn needed in the first few years.

The nutrition campaign by the ministry coincides with the week when charity or-ganisation, Save the Children, released a report on global maternal health.

It shows that while a child born in Kenya is more likely to be breastfed within the first birth hour than one born either in Uganda or Tanzania, it’s a different scenario as the child grows, as Tanzania and Uganda beat Kenya at the recommended exclusive breastfeeding that should be observed in the first six months.

Sixty per cent of mothers in Uganda breastfeed their children the first six months compared to Tanzania that stands at 50 per cent and Kenya at 32 per cent.

The World Health Organisation defines it as the practice of feeding only breast milk to allow the baby to receive vitamins and minerals.

The 13th State of the 2012 World’s Mothers report shows Niger as the worst place globally to be a mother in the world, meaning the health indicators are the worst among the surveyed countries.

Norway was rated the best place to be-come a mother.

However, Afghanistan which was rated the worst the previous year improved by one position to become the second last.

The report describes the conditions of mothers and children in the bottom 10 countries as “devastating” and calls for concerted efforts by the government and donors to improve the health indi-cators.

The report shows which countries are doing the best — and which are doing the worst — at providing nutrition during the critical window of development that starts during a mother’s pregnancy and goes through her child’s second birthday.

Six key nutrition solutions, including breastfeeding, that have the greatest potential to save lives are highlighted by the report.

The ranking compares 165 countries around the globe, and looks at factors such as a mother’s health, education and economic status, as well as critical child indicators such as health and nutrition.

The 10 bottom-ranked countries — eight from sub-Saharan Africa — are a reverse image of the top 10, and performed poorly in all indicators surveyed.

The report notes that whereas virtually every birth in Norway is attended to by a

health professional, only one in every 13 births are conducted.

“We urgently need global leadership on the malnutrition issue, so that policies and programmes are put in place to ensure the health and survival of mothers and their babies,” said Carolyn Miles, president and CEO of Save the Children when releasing the report this week.

The report details a vicious cycle of young mothers, who may themselves have been stunted in childhood, going on to give birth to underweight babies who have not been adequately nourished in the womb.

Save the Children notes that in sub-Sa-haran Africa, up to 20 per cent of women are classified as excessively thin, while that figure rises to up to 35 per cent in South Asia.

Sub-Saharan Africa also accounts for 18

out of the 20 lowest-ranking countries.The report further highlights that the

best method for breaking this cycle and protecting the pregnant mother and her baby from malnutrition is to focus on the first 1,000 days starting from pregnancy.

This includes simple support measure of ensuring mothers continually breastfeed their young ones, a move that, it has been said, could save one million children’s lives annually.

The report shows that less than 40 per cent of all infants in developing countries receive the full benefits of exclusive breast-feeding.

“Our research shows that a mother’s breast milk — one single nutrition inter-vention — can save a million children’s lives each year,” said Ms Miles.

All mothers should have the support they need to breastfeed if they want to. Breastfeeding is good for babies no matter where they live, but in developing countries, especially those without access to clean water, breastfeeding can be a matter of life or death,” she added.

The report urged countries to prioritise fighting malnutrition by setting targets to reduce its prevalence to reduce child mortal-ity and thereby promote child health.

The index relies on information published by governments, research institutions and international agencies.

This report corroborates the situation in public health centres as was captured by the 2010 Kenya Service Provision As-sessment Survey released a year ago by the government in partnership with other development partners.

KSPA catalogued disparities in maternal health care across the country that leave women in rural areas vulnerable in an emergency.

The report stated that only five per cent of facilities nationwide can perform a Cae-sarean section and half of those facilities are in Nairobi, which leaves the rest of the country to share 2.5 per cent.

A fortnight of health campaign has been launched to create awareness on the importance of a healthy na-

tion, especially its children.Known as “Malezi Bora”, the Ministry

of Public Health and Sanitation drive hopes to fight malnutrition, which is the underlying cause of at least a fifth of ma-ternal mortality, and more than a third of children’s deaths.

According to deputy head of the de-partment of nutrition at the ministry, Ms Gladys Mugambi, this year’s theme - Fight-ing for Nutrition - centres on improving the diet of children countrywide.

Ms Mugambi warned that children whose bodies and minds were limited by stunting were at greater risk of catching diseases, adding that stunting could result in poor performance in school.

Balanced dietsMs Mugambi noted that some mothers

did not exclusively breastfeed their children due to a myriad of challenges, including strict work schedules, stress and failure to eat balanced diet due to poverty.

“Holding the baby in the wrong position may lead to sore or cracked nipples, depriv-ing the baby of milk,” Ms Mugambi told the Nation in an interview yesterday.

She cited the critical role played by health workers of screening children for malnutrition and offering solutions, thus averting the problem that later affected the child’s growth and development

Last year the ministry launched a Fa-cebook page dedicated to breastfeeding to engrain the practice especially among young mothers.

Breastfeeding is slowly losing popularity among the youth due to myths that abound about weight gain and sagging breasts.

BY KITSEPILE NYATHI NATION CORRESPONDENT and AgenciesHARARE, Wednesday

Zimbabwe has dismissed a South African court judgment ordering the

prosecution of its ministers and security chiefs for alleged human rights abuses saying the ruling is part of a regime change campaign in the country.

A South African High Court judge yesterday ordered that prosecutors must investigate Zimbabwean officials accused of torturing supporters of Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai five years ago.

The case centres on Zim-babwean officials accused of state-sanctioned torture against scores of activists following a raid on the headquarters of the Movement for Democratic Change in 2007.

The South African Litiga-tion Center (SALC) and the Zimbabwe Exiles Forum (ZEF) approached the court after South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority refused to investigate the matter.

SALC and ZEF cited that country’s obligations under to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Six ministers from President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF party and service chiefs are affected by the judgment and face arrest if they visit South Africa.

Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa, a key ally of Presi-dent Mugabe said the ruling was irrelevant and would not be enforced.

“These people are working in cahoots with the ex-Rhodies

(Zimbabwe’s former colonial government) who brought a case against government on the land issue,” he said.

“They use the same source of funding to push a vendetta by white former colonial masters to cast Zimbabwe in the worst light to the world.” The minister claimed the ruling had brought the South African justice system into disrepute.

“No specifics have been iden-tified because they should have laid a blow to blow account of what crime has been commit-ted,” Mr Chinamasa told state media.

“That the court made a ruling based on a generalised opinion is a sad moment for the justice system in South Africa.”

Judge Hans Fabricius of the North Gauteng High Court said Mr Tsvangirai was one of the victims of the violent crack-down by President Mugabe’s

supporters. In 2007, the then opposition

leader was badly beaten while in police custody after he was arrested during a prayer meet-ing in Harare.

Pictures of a bruised Mr Tsvangirai splashed by the international media forced re-gional leaders to intervene in Zimbabwe yielding an inclusive government in 2009.

“There was reasonable suspicion that crimes were committed,” Justice Fabricius ruled.

ZEF director Mr Gabriel Shumba escaped Zimbabwe after he was allegedly tortured by police for his work as a human rights lawyer.

“If you look at the interna-tional trends and see how many people have been arrested for example, over the Rwanda geno-cide, this judgement will send shivers across Zimbabwe,” Mr

Shumba said. The ruling is likely to give

South African President Jacob Zuma a headache as Zanu PF al-ready accuses him of bias in his mediation role in Zimbabwe.

President Zuma’s government has also refused to release a re-port compiled by South African judges for his predecessor Mr Thabo Mbeki on political vio-lence in Zimbabwe.

He was appointed by the Southern African Development Community to mediate in the Zimbabwean crisis.

The MDC hailed the deci-sion. “Torture is a barbaric instrument of dealing with issues of politics,” spokesman Nelson Chamisa said. “For that reason it remains our wish that all people of Zimbabwe with in-jured hearts and troubled minds are brought to restorative and rehabilitative, as opposed to retributive, justice.’’

BY ABDULKADIR KHALIF NATION CorrespondentMOGADISHU, Wednesday

The 13th meeting of the Joint Security Committee (JSC) for So-malia was concluded in Mogadishu today.

Participants from the international community and Somali stakeholders endorsed, among others, a plan to amalgamate the various pro-gov-ernment forces fighting Al-Shabaab and Al-Qaeda, the radical Islamist

groups fervently opposing the Tran-sitional Federal Government (TFG) in Somalia. Currently, diverse forces and militias belonging to the TFG, the semiautonomous states of Punt-land and Galmudug, respectively in North-eastern and Central Somalia as well as Ahlu Sunna wal-Jamea, a moderate Islamist group with mili-tants in various regions in Southern and Central Somalia, fight the fanati-cal Islamists.

The pro-government forces are supported by troops from Uganda,

Burundi, Kenya and Djibouti operat-ing under the auspices of the African Union Mission in Somalia, Amisom, as well as forces from neighbouring Ethiopia. Mr Hussein Arab Issa, the TFG’s Defence Minister, announced

the need to unite all pro-government forces wherever in the country they are.

After the completion of a one-month peace Support Op-eration training, 198 security personnel from different secu-rity services that formed the GAMCOY 14 are now flexing their muscles for peacekeeping mission to the conflict region of Darfur, Sudan under the United Nations African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID).

The personnel comprise of 188 members of Gambia Armed Forces, 10 personnel from the sister security services, among them 12 female soldiers, said Lt Col Sait Njie, commandant,

Gambia Armed Forces Training School. Commandant Njie said GAMCOY 14 had significant training in mine awareness, laws of arms conflicts, cor-don and search operations, and the rules of engagement, public order operations, people and vehicle search, mounting vehicle check point, operation room procedures and reacting to incident among others.

Addressing the awaiting contingent, he refreshed their memories of professionalism as standard bearers of The Gambia as a country and that of the GAF as a disciplined force in Darfur.

Navy Captain Sambou Bar-row noted that the Gambia Armed Forces depend on the knowledge and skills base of its personnel to craft the atmosphere conducive for professional development of its members.The number to be deployed

KHARTOUM, Sudan, Wednesday

Sudan and South Sudan faced a United Nations deadline on Wednes-

day to pull troops back from their disputed frontier, but Khartoum said it could not comply until there is a border agreement.

Earlier today, Sudanese war planes have launched renewed air strikes against South Sudan, violating a UN Security Council resolution to end weeks of a bitter border conflict, the South’s army said Wednesday.

“The Republic of Sudan has been randomly bombarding civilian areas,” said Southern army spokesman Kella Kueth, who claimed the air strikes hit the border states of Upper Nile, Unity and Western Bahr el-Ghazal on Monday and Tuesday.

It was not possible to inde-pendently confirm the reports and Sudan has repeatedly denied it has bombed the South.

“The people of Khartoum, they just deny,” Kueth said, adding that both fighter jets and Antonov airplanes car-ried out the air raids.

Both sides say they are com-plying with a United Nations Security Council resolution which ordered them to stop fighting from last Friday, amid international concern that the rivals could return to all out war. The Wednesday

deadline loomed as the South alleged violation of a ceasefire in effect since May 4 along the border.

The UN’s call for a pullout from the disputed frontier by Wednesday is in line with agreements for a monitored demilitarised zone made by

Sudan and South Sudan around the time of the South’s separa-tion last year.

They have failed to imple-ment those agreements, under which they were supposed to pull back 10 kilometres from the north-south border that was in place on January 1, 1956, when Sudan became independent.

Under a May 2 UN Security Council resolution which seeks to address “a serious threat to international peace and secu-rity”, both sides are to establish a “Safe Demilitarised Border Zone” and jointly begin moni-toring the frontier.

The demilitarised zone would be monitored by ob-servers from both sides, with security and other support provided by the UN’s Interim Security Force for Abyei, or UNISFA, which is based in the contested region of Abyei.

But a foreign diplomat has said the two sides “refused to let UNISFA deploy along the border”.

The May 2 UN resolution says the call for a demilitarised zone and border monitoring “in no way prejudices” nego-tiations over disputed areas, and border demarcation.

But Sudan’s foreign ministry said it already notified the UN and the African Union that it has reservations about the demand for a demilitarised zone.

“First the two states have to agree where the border is and sign an agreement. Then after that we can do the 10-kilometre withdrawal,” said the ministry’s spokesman Al-Obeid Meruh.

The South’s army said on Wednesday it had pulled back its forces in line with the UN resolution. (AFP)

Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir (pictured) accuses the South of backing rebels from Darfur as well as those fighting in Sudan’s South Kordofan state and Blue Nile. Juba rejects the claims, and in turn accuses Khartoum of backing rebels on its territory, a tactic it used to deadly effect during their 1983-2005 civil war. The South also accuses Khartoum of occupying several parts of its territory, including Abyei region, claimed by both sides but which Sudan’s army stormed last year forcing over 100,000 people to flee southwards. South Sudan broke away from Sudan in July after a 2005 peace deal.

UN transfers case file to RwandaARUSHA, Tanzania, Wednesday

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda is to transfer a fourth case file of a genocide suspect to Rwandan courts as part of its winding up strategy, court papers showed today.

The case is that of the fugi-tive former mayor of Nyakizu, Ladislas Ntaganzwa.

The three cases already transferred to Rwanda by the UN-backed tribunal are Jean Uwinkindi, a pastor who was physically sent to Rwanda in April, and two other files of suspects who are still fugitives.

Those are former criminal investigation department in-spector Fulgence Kayishema, and another former mayor, Charles Sikubwabo. (AFP)

WASHINGTON, Wednesday

Niger has ousted Afghani-stan as the worst place in the world to be a mother, largely due to hunger, according to an annual report out on Tuesday by Save the Children.

In contrast, Norway is the best according to the group’s “Best and Worst Places to Be a Mom” ranking which com-pares 165 countries in terms of maternal health, education, economic status and children’s health and nutrition.

The report, which this year focuses on nutrition particu-larly from the time a woman gets pregnant until the child is two, said that malnutrition is an underlying cause of 2.6 million child deaths worldwide each year.

“Millions more children survive, but suffer lifelong physical and cognitive im-pairments because they did not get the nutrients they needed early in their lives when their growing bodies and minds were most vulnerable,”

it said. After Niger, the next worst countries were listed as Afghanistan — which held the lowest spot for two years — Yemen, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Eritrea, Chad, Sudan, South Sudan and the Demo-cratic Republic of Congo.

“Of the 10 countries at the bottom of Save the Children’s annual index, seven are in the midst of a food crisis,” it said. ‘‘Niger is currently in the grip of a worsening hunger situa-tion, threatening the lives of a million children.” (AFP)

WASHINGTON, Wednesday

Long-serving Republican Senator Richard Lugar was routed in Tuesday’s

Indiana primary, marking the demise of a moderate at the hands of a conservative who deemed him too willing to compromise.

Even as Richard Mourdock, the state’s tea party-backed treasurer, celebrated his stun-ning victory before ecstatic supporters, Democrats ex-pressed hope that Mr Lugar’s defeat could help them snatch the seat in November.

Mr Lugar (pictured) was first elected to the Senate in 1976 and twice served as chairman of the chamber’s powerful For-

eign Relations Committee.The six-term incumbent

was left flat-footed in his home state, losing his party’s primary to a more conserva-tive alternative by 60-40 per cent, according to US media projections.

“If Mr Mourdock is elected, I want him to be a good Senator,” Mr Lugar said in a statement. “But that will require him to revise his stated goal of bringing more partisanship to Washington. ... His embrace of an unrelenting partisan mind-set is irreconcilable with my philosophy of governance and my experience of what brings results.”

Defeat of the man who shared the role of longest-serving Republican currently in the Senate overshadowed a three-state presidential pri-mary sweep by Mitt Romney, who marched closer to offi-cially clinching the Republican nomination.

Mr Romney’s victories in In-diana, North Carolina and West Virginia pushed his delegates total up by about 100 to some 975, nearing the threshold of 1,144 needed to win the nomi-nation and square off against President Barack Obama in November.

“I’d say if you’re an incum-bent you’d better not lose touch with home,” said Sena-tor Lindsey Graham, reflecting sweeping criticism that Mr Lugar was too disconnected from Indiana voters and failed to acknowledge his own vulner-ability this year until he was in deep trouble. (AFP)

PARIS, Wednesday

Outgoing French leader Nicolas Sarkozy’s cabinet met for its last ses-sion today as president-elect Francois Hollande held talks with top Socialists to gear up for next month’s parliamen-tary vote.

Mr Hollande also held consultations on forming a government and preparing for his first foreign visit, to Berlin, where he is expected to get a frosty reception over his plans to renegotiate the Euro-pean fiscal austerity pact. The Cabinet meeting was “emotional”, participants

said, with ministers giving Sarkozy a standing ovation after he told them he wished Hollande “good luck” following his election win on Sunday.

“Nicolas Sarkozy’s main commitment in 2007, to put France on the move, has been met,” Prime Minister Francois Fillon said after the session.

“We did this with a number of reforms that no one else managed, and we did it during a climate of crisis.”

Government spokeswoman Valerie Pecresse said Fillon would tender the cabinet’s resignation on Thursday and that it would take effect when Hollande

is inaugurated on May 15.Hollande meanwhile met with senior

party officials at his campaign headquar-ters, where talks focused on securing the Socialists a majority in the two-round parliamentary vote on June 10 and 17.

“We are closing one period and opening another, that of the parliamentary elec-tions,” party leader Martine Aubry told journalists. “It is important not to slacken our efforts.” Winning in June will be crucial for the Socialists as the president requires a parliamentary majority to maintain gov-ernment otherwise the prime minister is in charge of the cabinet.

Sarkozy holds last French Cabinet meeting UNDERWEAR TRICK | Cavity used

WASHINGTON, Wednesday

The man ordered by Al-Qaeda’s branch in Yemen to blow up

a US-bound airliner was a double agent who infiltrated the group and volunteered for the suicide attack, with Saudi intelligence likely playing a key role, US media reported.

American officials leaked out details of the extraordinary in-telligence coup two days after the White House announced a plot by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) had been successfully thwarted.

The double agent managed to spend weeks with AQAP be-fore handing over information that allowed the United States to launch a drone strike on Sun-day that killed Fahd al-Quso, a senior figure who was wanted for the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen, the New York Times and other media reported, citing unnamed US officials. A senior US official told the Times that a bomb for the would-be attack was sewn into “custom fit” underwear that would have been difficult to detect even in a careful pat-down at an airport.

Unlike the device used in the failed December 2009 plot by AQAP to blow up an airliner en route to Detroit, this explosive could have been detonated in

two ways, in case one failed, the unnamed official was quoted as saying.

The main charge was a high-grade military explosive that “undoubtedly would have brought down an aircraft,” the official said.

ABC News had reported earlier that the latest plot by AQAP was thwarted by a spy who infiltrated the group and took the explosive to Saudi Arabia. The CIA and other gov-ernment agencies declined to comment on the reports when contacted by AFP.

FBI experts on Tuesday were analyzing the seized explosive that officials said was an updated version of the “underwear bomb” used in a failed attack on Christmas Day 2009.

Although officials touted the disrupted plot as a success, they acknowledged AQAP re-mained determined to strike and its master bombmaker, Ibrahim Hassan Taleh Al-Asiri, was apparently hard at work seeking to circumvent airport security. Saudi intelli-gence likely had the lead role in disrupting the conspiracy, possibly providing the double agent. (AFP)

QKHARKIV, Ukraine, Wednesday

Ukraine’s jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko today halted a 20-day hunger strike after she was moved to a hospital to defuse a crisis overshadowing the Euro 2012 football.

Ukraine’s prison authori-ties in the early morning transferred Tymoshenko from her jail in the eastern city of Kharkiv to the hospital where she will receive treatment from a German doctor for severe back pain.

The doctor confirmed that the 51-year-old former prime minister had ended the hunger strike she began in April in pro-test at allegedly being roughly handled by prison guards.

“She has halted her hunger strike. We are now building up towards a normal nutri-tion regime,” Lutz Harms of the Berlin Charite clinic told reporters. “This process will take several days.”

“She is very weak and we will need to wait several days for her situation to stabilise,” said Dr Harms. He said that

for the moment Tymoshenko was taking in just water and juices and would only start eating food later.

According to her daughter Yevgenia, Tymoshenko lost 10 kilogrammes while refus-ing food.

“We will start a thorough therapy programme which will take some time — most likely it will take at least eight weeks and up to several months,” the doctor said.

Ukraine is facing a pos-sible extensive EU boycott of the Euro 2012 matches it is co-hosting with Poland in June over its treatment of Ty-moshenko, who was jailed for seven years in October after a trial condemned by the West. (AFP)

One of the major topics over the years remains the role the Soviet

Union played in the llibera-tion of Europe from fascism and the exaggeration of the US and UK role in achieving the victory over Nazi Germany.

Throughout the post-war period, the events of World War II are the subject of sharp ideological debate.

The truth of history is that much of the war against fas-cism was carried out by the Soviet Union.

This conclusion is based on an objective and comprehen-sive analysis of events and facts of the Second World War.

The main front of any war is the one on which the war-ring parties pursue the most decisive goals and concen-trate the bulk of the troops (the most efficient at that) to achieve them.

During World War II the So-viet-German front was about 4,000 kilometres long in 1941 and more than 6,000 thousand kilometres in 1942, exceeding four times the total length of the North African, Italian and Western fronts.

During the 1418 days the Soviet-German front existed, intense fighting was conducted during 1,320 days.

On the Soviet-German front during 1941-1945 main forces of fascist Germany were con-centrated.

On other fronts 119 divisions fought, or 38 per cent.

Thus, on the Soviet-German front before the beginning of 1944, 153 to 201 German divi-sions fought, and against the Allies.

And though the opening of a second front shifted the balance of power, the Soviet-German battle-front remained the main one and drew away the overwhelming majority of armed forces of Nazi Germany and its allies.

Over a year About seven million Soviet

soldiers for over a year waged bitter battles with the enemy in the territory of 11 countries of Europe, covering over one million square kilometres.

Major European capitals were liberated - Bucharest, Belgrade, Budapest, Warsaw, Vienna, Prague, Sofia, and Berlin.

At the end of the war Brit-ish Prime Minister Winston Churchill admitted that it was the Red Army that had decided “... the fate of Ger-man militarism.”

Charles de Gaulle noted:

“The French know what Russia has done and know that it was Russia that has played a major role in their liberation.”

Meanwhile, today, in Moscow, newly-inaugurated President Vladimir Putin presided over Russia’s annual display of military power as missiles and thousands of troops paraded across Red Square to mark World War II victory.

Two days after Mr Putin’s swearing-in, over 14,000 servicemen marched along-side nuclear-capable missiles to commemorate the 67th an-niversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.

Mr Putin watched from the stands with his new Prime Minister and former presi-dent Dmitry Medvedev, who had been confirmed in his post a day earlier, in a job swap scheme first announced in Sep-tember. (AFP, Agencies)

Motorcycle operators commonly known as boda boda will soon be compelled to pay taxes and join savings and credit cooperative societies, just like public service vehicles.

Mr Joseph Nyagah, Coopera-tive Development and Marketing minister, said his ministry is crafting a law to compel them to join saccos.

Speaking while fielding ques-tions from the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture on Tuesday, the minister said the move is aimed at bringing order to the sector, which has increas-ingly become popular, especially with thousands of youth in the country.

“We are fast-tracking the process that would see boda boda operators incorporated in the cooperatives system to ensure they operate under an organised environment like their counterparts in the matatu industry,” Mr Nyagah said. This will also ensure they pay taxes to the government.

Mr Nyaga added that the process has already started with allocation of Sh20 million in the ministry’s budget estimates for 2012/13 financial year.

The allocation was, however, criticised by the parliamentary committee on grounds that it was too little to help in setting up sys-tems that would ensure regulation of the sector, like is the case in the matatu industry.

State-owned National Oil Corporation of Kenya (Nock) has entered into a deal with its counterpart in Japan to jointly survey for commercially viable hydrocarbons in Kenya.

The agreement is for evaluation of hy-drocarbon potential of onshore Kenya by undertaking geophysical surveys with Japan

Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), which are critical for explora-tion companies to establish areas where drilling is likely to have the most chance of success.

SurveysIn a statement, Nock said the initial

contract will be for one-and-a-half years, pending outcome of the surveys.

This comes following growing confidence

that the country will soon become an oil producer after Tullow and Africa Oil, who struck oil in March, revealed that they have now found 100 meters of net oil pay. The discovery.

“Nock plans to acquire FTG on Block 14T from June 2012 and this latest development is a major boost to the corporation’s oil and gas exploration activities,” read a statement signed by managing director Sumayya Has-san-Athmani.

Kenya’s ability to pay for its increasing imports continues to

weaken with the widening in the last four months of the current account deficit, putting fresh pressure on the local currency.

Data from a Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) report show that food, fuel, machinery and chemical prices have risen by 13.6 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product in the first three months of the year.

The import bill as at the beginning of the year had grown by Sh170 billion to Sh368 billion from 2010.

The situation has caught the interest of economic experts at research firm Renaissance Capital, who say that despite attempts by the banking regulator to formulate policies to reduce import costs, escalating oil prices — a barrel of oil is at $115 currently — wiped off any gains.

“This implies that we are not out of the woods yet. Added to this, remittances which have grown strongly in recent months appear to have stagnated.

“We, therefore, think the situation explains the reluc-tance of the CBK to loosen monetary policy for fear of a weakening shilling,” read the report in part.

Kenya reported a trade deficit equivalent to Sh59.3 billion in January of 2012.

Usually, when the country records a strong current ac-count, its gross domestic product expands boosted by export revenues.

Forex reserves Renaissance Capital said

the move by the international monetary fund to approve Sh16 billion in extended credit facility to Kenya has helped shore up the country’s forex reserves.

However, analysts who cite capital equipment and ma-chinery imports intended for infrastructure projects, par-ticularly geothermal plants and road construction, re-mained strong in the period say the ballooning deficit may not worry the CBK because the imports are investment related.

Speaking to the Daily Nation on phone, analysts say Mr Karithi Murimi said that the effects of these will spill over to financing the next budget, especially on implementing the devolu-tion dream.

Fresh headache for policy makers as import bill risesKenya not out of the woods yet as escalating oil prices and stagnating remittances depress efforts to reduce bill, analysts say

Mortgage provider Hous-ing Finance has revived its construction subsidi-

ary, giving it headroom to tap into the lucrative property develop-ment market.

The property development arm known as Kenya Building Society (KBS) was instrumen-tal in putting up housing units in Komarock and Buru Buru es-tates in Nairobi in the 80s and 90s, before it became defunct for over 13 years until its revival yesterday.

Speaking during the ground breaking ceremony at the con-struction site in Komarock estate, Housing minister Soita Shitanda, said this is part of a plan to pro-vide adequate and affordable housing units to a fast-growing population in Nairobi and its outskirts.

“The growing urban population

has put pressure on the housing sector with demand standing at over 250,000 against a supply of only 50,000 units every year. The investment through the

Kenya Building Society is part of the plan to provide afford-able housing, in partnership with other stakeholders,” Mr Shitanda said.

KBS has hit the ground run-ning with a plan to put up 162 four-bedroom housing units at a cost of Sh800 million on 13 acres of land located in Komar-

ock estate in Nairobi’s Eastlands area.

The houses will be sold for at least Sh6.8 million on comple-tion.

The revival of KBS is part of the mortgage financing com-pany’s plans to shore up its revenues. The company is posi-tioning itself to rake in revenues from the property market due to rising demand.

It plans to set up 15 satellite towns around Nairobi as the county system of administra-tion begins to take shape in the country.

“We have more property in this area that we intend to develop, but we are also looking to part-ner with land owners to construct housing units to meet rising de-mand, especially from the middle and low income earners in the country,” Housing Finance MD Frank Ireri said.

TOKYO, WEDNESDAY

Japan’s Toyota Motor said Wednesday net profit for the year to March fell 30.5

per cent to 283.56 billion yen ($3.56 billion), hit by Japan’s quake-tsunami disaster and record flooding in Thailand.

But Japan’s biggest au-tomaker, also stung by the strong yen, pledged a sharp rebound in the current fiscal year, expecting net profit to more than double to 760 bil-lion yen on surging demand

in emerging markets.Toyota also forecast oper-

ating profit to nearly triple year-on-year to 1.0 trillion yen as consumers opt for small and economically priced vehicles, as well as “green” models, a key segment for the manufacturer.

“Our vision is to establish a strong business foundation that will ensure profitability under any kind of difficult business environment,” Presi-dent Akio Toyoda said in a statement.

“Certainly the last fiscal year was extremely challeng-ing due to the natural disasters in Japan and Thailand, plus the unprecedented strength of the yen.”

Japanese automakers were hammered last year by the

country’s huge earthquake and tsunami, which caused enormous production prob-lems, while the later Thailand flooding created supply-chain headaches for firms with plants there.

The yen, which hit a record high against the dollar in 2011, began to weaken early this year, a decline that will help exporters whose prod-ucts become more expensive overseas when the currency strengthens.

Toyota, which said it sold 7.35 million vehicles in the year to March for total sales of 18.58 trillion yen, down 2.2 percent, lost its number one spot in the global carmakers’ league last year.

The company had been the world’s biggest automaker

Small businesses receive Sh2bn to boost productivityBY NATION REPORTER

Nairobi

Small and medium busi-nesses are set to receive a Sh2 billion loan to improve their productivity.

The Micro Enterprises Support Programme Trust (MESPT) has entered into an agreement with the Kenya Association of Manu-facturers (KAM) to support

small businesses mainly in the agri-business sector.

The funds will be spread over the next five years to enhance the manufacturing value chain of the small and medium enterprises under the business sector programme.

“We have signed a deal with the Kenya Association of Manufactures to ensure the funds benefit processors especially in agri-business,” said MESPT chief executive

Jeff Karingo Njagi at a Nairobi hotel yesterday.

Financial servicesHe said the trust had

received funding from the Danish Government, which would be distributed through its partner intermediaries.

The funds will also be used to build capacity for financial service providers including micro-finance institutions, savings and credit and

community-based organisa-tions.

The funding targets all sectors although agriculture takes the lion’s share of the funds.

“Our rates are very com-petitive at eight to 12 per cent for agricultural businesses and 10 to 12 per cent for business loans,” he said.

The arrangement applies the micro-finance lending model of group loans, which

had boosted repayment rate that now stands at 97 per cent, Mr Njagi added.

MESPT has also received Sh400 million from the Eu-ropean Union which has been used to reduce post-harvest losses in horticulture and fisheries sectors.

The funds have also been used to build capacities of rural financial intermediaries and to support the leather and handicraft sectors.

Tension is high in Murang’a after an intoxicated police officer shot dead a man and

assaulted three other people.Police constable Dedan Njuguna

Ngotho, who was later arrested and arraigned in court yesterday, went berserk on Tuesday night and killed Mr Victor Mwangi, 25, paralysing busi-ness at Gakurwe shopping centre and adjacent homesteads.

According to witnesses, trouble started at around 7.30pm when Con-stable Ngotho, who was attached to Gakurwe AP post, was involved in an argument with a video shop attendant identified as Mr James Maina.

The AP, who is said to have been drinking at a local bar, went for his firearm at the post and started shoot-ing indiscriminately.

Forced to close shopIn the process, he shot Mr Mwangi

two times in the head and shoulder, killing him on the spot.

“We scampered for safety as the AP abused us and ordered all traders to close their shops or be killed,” said Mr Maina Njuguna, one of the business-man at Gakurwe shopping centre.

Other residents claimed the officer threatened to shoot dead a watchman before attacking a motorist and a motorcycle rider. He also harassed a woman and her children.

The officer then shot several times in the air, dispersing traders from the market.

The trader said he called the area chief and councillor and reported the matter.

“We later heard a police Land Rover approach and police ordered the AP

to surrender and he complied,” Mr Njuguna recounted.

Mr Amos Mwangi, another witness, claimed that the police shot the of-ficer before disarming him.

While confirming the incident, district commissioner George Natembeya denied that the AP was drunk but “was under the influence of other drugs.”

He also dismissed claims that

regular police officers shot the AP before disarming him.

“We will put all measures to ensure our officers carry out their duties in the most disciplined manner,” Mr Natembeya said.

The AP was taken to Kiria-ini police post and later transferred to Murang’a. He was yesterday charged with mur-der at the High Court in Nyeri.

Mr James Mukora, an uncle of

the deceased, condemned the inci-dent and demanded justice for his nephew.

“It has become a routine for po-lice officers to shoot innocent people indiscriminately. This must end,” he told the Nation.

Elsewhere, a 35 year-old man was yesterday stabbed to death by his friend during a drinking spree at a bar.

The incident happened at Chinga in Nyeri South district.

Police said the two were enjoying drinks at a local bar when an argu-ment arose and the assailant rushed to his employer’s house and came back with a sword.

He stabbed Mr John Mugendi in the stomach.

Central Police spokesman John Katumo said the victim died on the way to hospital.

The assailant, a 45 year-old man, was arrested and the murder weapon, a Somali sword, recovered.

Mr Katumo said it was not clear what triggered the argument between the two friends who were both tea pickers in the area.

Teenagers sentenced to death for robberyTwo teenagers have been

convicted of robbery with violence and rape and sen-tenced to death.

A third 17-year-old boy nar-rowly escaped being sent to the gallows because he is underage but will be held in prison at the pleasure of the President.

Another teenager, John Long’ole, who had been

charged as an accomplice in the robbery, was acquitted due to lack of evidence.

Aletia Ekiru, 18, Benson Ekutan Lotiang, 19, and 17-year-old Loter Ibuya were found guilty of robbery with violence and three counts of gang rape by former Lodwar principal magistrate Thomas Nzyoki last month.

The magistrate has since

moved to Kakamega. However, the sentence was

passed by his successor, Mr Edwin Mwaita.

The boys committed the offence on April 24, last year next to Mum’s Hotel in Lodwar town at about 5am.

The complainant was on her way home from a club when she was attacked by

seven thugs, one of them being a woman.

The gangsters robbed her of a mobile phone and Sh1,500 and then assaulted her.

The teenagers thereafter raped her, the court heard.

An 11-year-old girl who saw what had happened from a balcony helped the victim.

A law firm associated with a Cabinet minister has been allowed to auc-

tion the property of Naivasha MP John Mututho to recover legal fees amounting to Sh5.2 million.

Kilonzo and Company advocates, a firm started by Education minister Mutula Kilonzo, are claiming the amount for representing Mr Mututho(pictured) in an election petition filed against him by former area MP Jayne Kihara in 2008.

Efforts by the MP through lawyer Gordon Ogolla to save his property failed after the High Court dismissed his application for an extension of time to allow him file a response.

Mr Mututho told Lady Jus-tice Roselyn Wendoh that the legal costs were “inordinately high and unconscionable.”

Mr Ogolla claimed that the court did not inform his client about the initial ruling to allow

him object in good time.However, the application for

an extension of time was dis-missed by Lady Justice Wendoh who said that the suit had been overtaken by events.

She added that the applica-tion was meant to scuttle the execution process since an-other court had issued orders for his property to be attached to settle the fees.

Initially, lawyer Mutula Kilonzo Junior had wanted to be paid Sh13.4 million but the court cut down the figure to Sh5.2 million. The lawyer wants the fees as payment for defending the MP and re-tallying and computing the votes in court in an exercise that lasted for two months.

Marakwet East MP Linah Kilimo has disowned a report ranking her constituency as the worst performer

in the use of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF).

According to the National Taxpayers Associa-tion report, out of the Sh31 million allocated to Mrs Kilimo’s constituency in the financial year 2009/2010, Sh16 million could not be accounted for.

The money was allegedly allocated to ghost projects or misappropriated by project man-agement officials.

But the MP dismissed the report as mali-cious and biased.

The Cooperative Development assistant minister said at Chesong’och Health Centre yesterday: “Though my constituency was the last, it was not out of the total 210 constituen-cies but only the 38 singled out.”

The development projects funded through CDF speak for themselves, she said, urging her constituents not to be alarmed by the damning

report. “These NTA officials are not auditors and I cannot believe their report. How can they rank us with other urban constituencies which can easily access building materials for development projects?” asked Mrs Kilimo.

However, a report released by Auditor-Gen-eral last year also alleged massive loss of funds in the constituency, leading to the interdiction of CDF manager Kariuki Mugolwe.

Local councillors yesterday asked the legislator to take political responsibility and resign.

“This is not politics but the misuse of public money and the buck stops with the CDF pa-tron who is the MP,” said councillor Johnstone Kasenge.

Gangsters kill man in front of his family BY NATION REPORTER

Armed men carjacked a man and killed him as his family watched on Tuesday night.

Mr Dennis Simiyu, a manager at Technoserve, was driving home at around 9pm when he was car-jacked.

Guards said Mr Simiyu was talking to two men when he drove inside the gate of the residence in Jamhuri estate, Nairobi.

The guards said they thought the men were his friends.

They went into the house and found his wife and a sister watch-ing television.

The gangsters told the family that they had been sent to kill him and demanded money, his ATM card and its pin number.

Blocked first aidThey then shot Mr Simiyu and

warned the wife against adminis-tering any first aid on him though he was bleeding profusely.

The gangsters drove away in Mr Simiyu’s car, which by yesterday evening had not been traced.

Nairobi deputy police boss Mo-ses Ombati said the ATM cards were later used to withdraw money in Kariobangi.

The victim was rushed to the Nairobi Hospital after the assail-ants had left but he died before he could be treated.

PRESS RELEASE

WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION TO NAIROBIThis is to inform our esteemed customers that the water supply pipeline from Sasumua Dam was damaged last night arising from heavy rains that have been encountered lately. The affected line is 24 inches in diameter and supplies about 48,000 cubic meters of water per day which is approximately 10% of the total production capacity for Nairobi.

This has interrupted supply to the following areas:• Karen, Uthiru, Kangemi, Westlands, Parklands• Lower Kabete, Loresho, Gigiri, Kitisuru, Spring Valley• University of Nairobi main campus, Lower & Upper Kabete campus• Kawangware, Lavington, Waithaka, Kileleshwa, Riruta, Satellite• Upper Hill, KNH, Nairobi Hospital, Dagoretti Corner, Lang’ata• Areas along Naivasha Road, Ngong Road, DoD, Community and• Kenya Institute of Administration.

Furthermore there has been reduced abstraction of raw water at the Mwagu intake due to massive clogging. This has reduced production from the main treatment plant serving Nairobi.

Our rapid response team has identified the damaged section of the Sasumua pipeline at Gakoe forest and corrective measures have commenced. Similarly measures to unclog Mwagu intake are ongoing. Full supply is expected to be restored within 48 Hours.

In the meantime the following measures have been put in place to minimize the impact of this interruption:• Transfer of water from Gigiri to Kabete storage through pumping• NCWSC has mobilized 15 water tankers to supply to the affected areas.

Furthermore private water tankers registered with the company have been invited to complement tracking.

• 30 collapsible tanks have been made available to transport water to the affected areas

• NCWSC is under instruction to ensure all the 50 boreholes are fully operational• NCWSC is making available disinfection materials (Chlorine tablets) for use

during this crisis to ensure safe water• A crisis centre has been established at Kabete water works to respond to

customer queries.

The centre is manned by Margaret Benson, RM/Western Cell phone 0726848972 and Godfrey Masinde, RM/Southern Cell phone 0735880433We regret the inconveniences caused and NCWSC undertakes to provide to the public regular updates on progress.

Italy’s Euro chances cut due to injuries - coachItaly coach Cesare Prandelli said in an interview published yesterday that his side’s chances in the Euro 2012 tournament had been halved due to injuries and loss of form. “The potential of the side has been cut by 50 percent, whether it’s because of injuries that we’ve had in the last six or seven months or because so many players have lost their place,” Prandelli told the Corriere della sera newspaper. For example, Villa Real’s Giuseppe Rossi is out for up to 10 months after rupturing a knee ligament, while fellow striker Antonio Cassano of AC Milan only started playing again in April after six months off with a heart problem.

Doha

Kenyan 800 metres star David Rudisha yesterday chuckled at the fantastic thought of run-

ning the final leg of the men’s 4x400m relay at the London Games against double Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt.

Rudisha, the world 800m champion and also the world record holder, is one of Kenya’s main Olympic gold medal hopes, but has admitted he could run in the relay should the squad advance in the British capital this summer.

The chances of Bolt adding the 4x400m to his already-charged programme of the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay is highly unlikely, al-though the Jamaican did say back in November that he would be available if he got the call-up.

But Rudisha allowed himself a brief moment of fantasy before thoughts turned to setting his standard at to-morrow’s opening Diamond League meeting here.

Meet in the middle“It would be good, you know!” he

said, laughing. “People have been say-ing for some time that it would be a very interesting race, having Usain and me doing the last leg together.

“It would be great seeing two world record holders in different events competing. That would be our meet point because I’d come down to 400m and he would go up from the 100m and 200m.

“So we’d meet in the middle, it’d be great, a very interesting race.”

And who would emerge victorious? Rudisha avoided a direct answer with the alacrity of a well-oiled politician, instead focusing on the potential merits of the “spectacle”.

“Usain Bolt is fast, he has speed. I don’t have that speed. I have a little bit of speed and my ‘race’. It would fun and enjoyable to watch for the fans,” the towering 23-year-old said.

Rudisha, whose father won 4x400m relay silver at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, added: “Usain

Alison Williamson is set to compete in a national record-equalling sixth Olympic Games after her place in Britain’s ar-chery team for London 2012 was confirmed yesterday.

The 40-year-old, who won a bronze medal at the 2004 Games in Athens, missed out on an automatic spot at the final selec-tion shoot at Lilleshall in central England, last month. But she has since been handed the last discre-tionary spot and her place in the team was made public yesterday at Lord’s, which will take a break from its usual role as the ‘home of cricket’ to stage the Olympic archery tournament from July 27 to August 3.

Baby step plunges star player in hot water

Guangzhou Evergrande’s banned record signing Dario Conca could be facing more trou-ble after he brought his baby onto the pitch before an AFC Cham-pions League game, officials said yesterday.

An Asian Football Confed-eration (AFC) spokesman said Conca, who became one of the world’s best paid players when he joined the Chinese club, was being probed over the incident at this month’s match with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

“The case is currently under investigation for potential viola-tion by the player of the rules and regulations of the competition,” a spokesman told AFP.

BASKETBALL

Denver Nuggets beat Lakers to stay alive

The Denver Nuggets staved off elimination Tuesday by surviving a fourth-quarter surge to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers 102-99 in game five of their Western Con-ference NBA first-round playoff series. Andre Miller scored 17 of his 24 points in the second half for Denver who were fired up after the Lakers centre Andrew Bynum had earlier predicted that Los Angeles would have little trouble disposing of the Nuggets.

“It is bulletin board material but a guy has to back it up,” Lak-ers coach Mike Brown said.

Bolt is a great athlete, and the greatest sprinter ever seen.

“We love him like our brother, and whenever we see him, he’s doing such a great job ... in promoting our sport to a higher standard. We talk as friends, exchange a few words. We don’t really talk about training because he’s a sprinter and I’m an 800m runner.”

Rudisha does not, however, face an easy outing on Friday at the Qatar Sports Club, notably up against Ethio-pian youngster Mohamed Aman, who handed the Kenyan his first 800m loss for two years in Milan at the end of last summer. Aman has since gone on to claim gold against a strong line-up

at the World Indoor Championships in Istanbul in March, and Rudisha admitted that he had his eye on the Ethiopian.

Man focus, main priority“Aman is a young boy, good,

talented, we saw him in the world indoors. He’s a good man and he’s working hard,” he said. “It’s good for me to have people like him because it’s good to get that challenge and he gives good competition which is so healthy for us, gives us quality races and allows us to compete at the top of our abilities.”

Rudisha added that he was aiming to put in a time quicker than his sole

800m outing this season, one minute, 44.30 seconds set in Melbourne in March. “It’s my first race in prepara-tion for the big event of the year,” he said of his outlook on Doha.

“In 2010, I was really prepar-ing for fast races and breaking the world record, which was a little dif-ferent coming into 2011 which was a championships year. This year is an Olympic year and that is my main focus, my priority.

“To win the Olympics is important and that is what I’m so far missing.

“Preparation so far has been good,” he said, adding that after the Olym-pics, “I’ll see if I still have something left to do something special.” (AFP)

BY AYUMBA AYODI AND ANN CHEPKEMEI

Athletes failing to make the men’s and women’s 10,000 metres teams for

the London Olympic Games will have an opportunity to try their luck in the 5,000m races.

And those who will fall short in the men’s 10,000m final on June 2 at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, USA, will be allowed to compete in the 5,000m qualify-ing round that will be preceded by the national trials.

Athletics Kenya (AK) chair-man, Isaiah Kiplagat, explained that the men’s 5,000m race dur-ing the national championships planned for June 21 to 22 will be used as the qualifying round ahead of the trials on June 23.

Four decadesThe first three athletes across

the line at the Eugene final will make the men’s team for Sum-mer Games where Kenya is yet to win gold in four decades.

“We already have 18 athletes who have made the Olympic qualifying time in the 5,000m hence the need for a qualifier when the 10,000m athletes will join them from Eugene,” Kiplagat said.

“There are those who would like to double up and we must give them a chance.”

AK expect close to 29 athletes in the 5,000m qualifying round where the field will be whittled down to 12 to take part in the trials.

“The qualifying round is to ensure quality,” said the athlet-ics boss.

Kiplagat explained that the women’s 10,000m trials would be held a week before the 5,000m trials on June 23, so as to allow

athletes to double up. “The women’s races will be

straight finals due to the few qualifiers,” said Kiplagat, who was firm that no wild cards will be given to any athlete.

Some of the athletes who are likely to double up in the men’s team include the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games silver medallist,

Eliud Kipchoge. Kipchoge, who is also the

2003 Paris World Champion-ships 5,000m winner, finished second during the mini-trials for the 10,000m team.

Likely to double upThe 2010 Africa 5,000m

bronze medallist, Mark Kiptoo, who also stage similar exploits at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, is likely to also double up.

He finished fourth during the mini-trials in Nairobi that was won by 2009 World Champion-ships 10,000m bronze medallist, Moses Ndiema Masai.

It’s obvious when it comes to double world champion Vivian Cheruiyot since she has already

expressed her intentions ahead of the London Games.

World 10,000m silver medal-list Sally Kipyego has the leading qualifying time of 30:38.35 in 10,000m, Cheruiyot has 30:48.98 while the 2009 Berlin Worlds 10,000 champion Linet Masai boasts of 30:53.59.

Lucy Kabuu, who is yet to at-tain the ‘A’ Standard qualifying time of 31:45.00, is also eying the 10,000m team slot.

Only eight women have managed the qualifying time in 10,000m while 11 have sur-passed the ‘A’ Standard time of 15:20.00 in 5,000.

Cheruiyot has the leading time of 14:20.87 in the wom-en’s 5,000m.

ATHLETICS| Association explains its qualification criteria for Olympic Games distance running

Athletics Kenya’s special general meeting yesterday endorsed the association’s new constitution that sees the creation of one more region in the vast Rift Val-ley. The constitution, that will become operational next year, has Central Rift as the new region with its headquarters in Eldoret. The Central Rift region has been curved out of North Rift to make three regions in the Rift Valley, which in-cludes South Rift, that will cover Nandi, Uasin Gichu, Marakwet and Baringo. North Rift will have it’s headquarters in Kapengu-ria while Nakuru remains

South Rift’s headquarters, giving AK 16 regions. AK chairman Isaiah Kiplagat said the new constitution is in tandem with the com-ing of county governance.“We looked at the proxim-ity of all the areas within the Rift Valley,” explained Kiplagat. The new con-stitution will also see the posts of chairman, vice chairmen and secretary general ejected and, in-stead, a new presidential system adopted. The posi-tions of council members have been scrapped with AK adopting regional rep-resentation. AK will now be headed by the Presi-

dent , who will have four vice presidents, one of whom must be female. “The issue of the presi-dency was clarified by the Attorney General’s office so as to create a good cor-porate image,” said Kipla-gat, who was flanked by AK affiliates from across the country, said. The post of secretary gen-eral will be replaced by that of an appointed chief executive officer, who will be an AK employee. Kiplagat explained that besides the CEO, AK will employ other officers who will deal with finances and technical issues, among

others commitments. “One of the officers will be a Technical Director who will handle coaches and competition,” said Kiplagat.The constitution has also focused on the gender question where a third of its members constituting several commissions will be female. It will also see the forma-tion of an Executive Board that will be comprised of the president, four vice presidents, treasurer and the CEO.- Ayumba Ayodi and Ann Chepkemei

The race to Doha’s World Women’s Volleyball Clubs Championships starts with

the African Women’s Clubs Cham-pionships in Nairobi from today with 16 participating teams.

Winners of the annual champion-ships qualify to represent Africa in this year’s FIVB World Clubs Cham-pionships to be staged in Qatar in October.

Kenyan teams, including defend-ing champions Prisons, are among the clubs chasing the continental honors that will earn them chance to play at the lucrative World Clubs Championship which is being held for the fifth time since it was re-intro-

duced in 2008. National champions, Kenya Pipeline, and Kenya Commer-cial Bank (KCB) are the other home teams that have registered in the Championships.

Kenyan clubs have brilliant track record as each one of the three teams has at one time won the continental trophy.

But Pipeline and Prisons are cur-rently viewed as frontrunners in the show because their line-ups boast of some of the most experienced play-ers in Africa.

Pipeline has among others ex-perienced Asha Makuto, Catherine Wanjiru, captain Lucy Chege and Emily Chemutai in their arsenal.

All these are veteran players who have been playing at international level for many years.

Pipeline coach Japheth Munala ad-mits that he has experience to his side but he is not ready to admit his team is favorites in the Championships.

“All teams have come here as champions of respective countries and therefore we’re not going to underrate anyone,” he said.

Chelsea will have to win the Champions League final if they are to compete in next season’s edition after a 4-1 defeat by Liverpool on Tuesday ended their hopes of a top four Premier League finish.

Just three days after beating Liverpool 2-1 in the FA Cup final at Wembley, Chelsea were 3-0 behind

inside half an hour at Anfield follow-ing an own-goal from Michael Essien and goals from Jordan Henderson and Daniel Agger. Ramires scored for Chelsea early in the second half before Jonjo Shelvey ended any hope of a comeback with his first Premier League goal. England’s top four clubs will enter next term’s Champions League unless Chelsea beat Bayern Munich at the German

club’s ground in the final on May 19. If Chelsea win, it will deprive the team in fourth of a place in the preliminary round. This defeat meant the top four was beyond the reach of Chelsea, who will now finish in sixth spot, as it left them five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with just three on offer for beating already relegated Blackburn in their final match.

GOLF FIXTURE

Super Rugby player Dan Adongo has been named in an East African select side, Elgon Warriors.

The giant Blue Bulls utility forward was included in a provisional 40-man squad that will play two Test matches against visiting English Counties in Kampala and Nairobi next month.

Adongo, who debuted this year in the Southern Hemisphere’s elite competition, Super Rugby, has not played on Kenyan soil since 2006 as he chased his South African Sp-ingboks dream.

The 1.93 metre, 112 kilo Adongo featured for Kenya Under-18 and 21 sides before heading south where he honed his skills at the Sharks Acad-emy in Durban.

In all 21 Kenyans and 19 Ugandans made the provisional side.

Other players from Kenya include Biko Adema, Chris Oduor, David Ambunya, Lavin Asego, Wilson Kopondo, US-based Humphrey

Kayange and his brother Collins Injera

Kenyan Ham Onsando will coach the side assisted by compatriot Michael Otieno and Yayiro Kasasa of Uganda while Wangila Simiyu (Kenya) will be the team manager.

The English Counties will warm up for this much-anticipated tour with a match against Uganda on June 2 in Mbale before taking on the East African side on June 9th in Kampala.

Build a platformThe visitors will wind up their tour

with a second Test match on June 16 in Nairobi.

The recently concluded Elgon Cup series won by Uganda was used to pick up the East African squad.

Kenya Rugby Union chairman Mwangi Muthee said he expected a strong County side that may feature some England representative or ex-England players.

“We are calling in all our big boys because we want to showcase our

rugby to the world playing against high quality opposition,” Muthee said. “The English Counties side will offer players from this region a chance to build a platform towards playing professional rugby by get-ting a doze of it from the opposition. We plan more such tours,” the KRU boss added.

Elgon Warriors provisional squad: Kenya: Biko Adema, Chris Oduor, Collins Injera, Dan Adongo, David Am-bunya, Dennis Muhanji, Eden Agero, Humphrey Kayange, Isaac Adimo, Joel Ng’ang’a, Lavin Asego, Lawrence Buy-achi, Leslie Libasia, Peter Mutai, Nick Kirimi, Nick Baraza, Patrice Agunda, Ronnie Mwenesi,Tony Onyango, Vin-cent Mose, Wilson Kopondo. Uganda: Alex Mubiru, Anthony Kinene, Andrew Olweny, Bennon Kiiza, Brian Odong, Dennis Mulo, James Kimono, Jude Keremudu, Jus-tin Kimono, Marvin Odongo, Matthias Ochwo, Matial Tchumkam, Michael Wokorach, Robert Seguya, Romano Ogwal, Ronald Adigas, Scott Oluoch, Solomon Mawanda, Steve Ogwete.

Next Tuesday, the sports world will mark the first anniversary of Olympic

marathon champion Samuel Kamau Wanjiru’s death.

And to commemorate the star’s passing, Dutch journalist Frits Conijn on Tuesday launched a book that seeks to answer many questions that surrounded the star’s mysterious death following a night fall from the balcony of his Nyahururu home.

Unique talentThe 288-page book titled

Doodloper – Het tragische einde van Olympisch marathonkam-pioen Samuel Wanjiru), which translates to “Death Runner - The tragic end of Olympic marathon champion Samuel Wanjiru,” has been published by Tirion Uitgevers of Herculesplein in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

The Dutch version hit the shelves on Tuesday with the launch of the English version expected soon.

Doodloper is a story about unique talent, adultery, poverty, witchcraft, humiliation and the world of top sport.

“I knew Samuel Wanjiru as someone with a perpetual smile on his face,” top athlet-ics manager Jos Hermens of The Netherlands said in his foreward.

“This story clarifies the trag-edy that was hiding behind it,” the Global Sports Communica-tions head adds.

“Kenya was plunged in deep mourning. Samuel Wanjiru, the Olympic marathon winner of 2008 fell from his balcony and died at an early age,” Conijn, who co-authored the book with Tanzania-born Simon Maziku, now a Dutch citizen, told the Daily Nation yesterday.

“There were rumours of sui-cide and murder in international media but a thorough investiga-tion after his untimely death was not carried out.

Until today, speculations about his fatal fall continue.”

International fameConijn and Maziku spoke to

people from Wanjiru’s inner circle.

In their book, they describe how the super athlete is con-fronted with the downsides of his international fame.

How he ran on a road with a dead end.

In collaboration with a Dutch pathologist, the authors found evidence of a cover up and their final conclusions are staggering. Wanjiru remains an intriguing character, a man who gave the marathon a whole new dimen-

sion. “He was someone who brought Kenyan tribes together, but ironically the dark circum-stances around his death drove them apart again,” Conijn said yesterday.

“Some claim his death was due to an unfortunate concurrence of circumstances, while others say it was brutal murder.”

The English version of Conijn and Maziku’s book is titled Run-ning on empty and also has a photos section.

Conijn and Maziku spent months travelling between Kenya, Japan and Europe to dig into the myseries of Wan-jiru’s life.

“I’m not a sports journalist, but the intrigues of Wanjiru’s life made me develop interest into the young man’s life and death,” Amsterdam-based Conijn said.

“He was special in many ways and although I was never close to him, I felt like I knew him so well.”

Loew to remain in hot seat until 2014

Germany coach Joachim Loew will remain in his post until 2014 even if his side fail to win Euro 2012, the German football fed-eration (DFB) said yesterday.

Loew (above) has been coach of Germany since July 2006 and has steered them to the Euro 2008 final, where they were beaten by Spain, and a third place finish at the 2010 World Cup behind Spain and the Neth-erlands. Loew’s side remain among the favourites for victory in the Euro Championship in Poland and Ukraine on June 8-July 1.

Juve set for star wars row with federation

Serie A champions Juventus could be set for a row with league and federation bosses, if plans to embroider their shirt emblems with a third star to symbolise a 30th league championship win come to fruition.

Even before Juventus secured their 28th league crown last week the Turin-based club were insisting they would soon be cel-ebrating their 30th championship triumph. After their decisive 2-0 win at Cagliari on Sunday Juven-tus players drank from bottles of champagne brazenly labelled with the number 30.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Frits Conijn (born in 1961, and pictured below) is a journalist with Dutch financial magazine het Financieele Dagblad.

In 2010 his successful and controversial biography of Dutch banker, Dirk Scher-inga, was published. Simon Maziku was born in Tanzania in 1980 and moved to the Netherlands where he took up Dutch citizenship. He studied philosophy in Tanzania and is a specialist in East African culture. Global Sport’s Jos Hermens, the manager of, among others, Ethiopian leg-ends Haile Gebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele and Kenyan stars Moses Mosop, Eliud

Kipchoge and Brimin Kipruto wrote the foreword for the book. “A truly compelling story and a superb tribute to a great athlete,’ Gebrselassie says of the book.

New book generates global media interestBY ELIAS MAKORI

Doodloper (death runner, in English), the story about Olympic champion Sammuel Wanjiru’s dramatic life and mysterious death, has attracted a lot of interest in global media.

In the Netherlands, leading daily De Volksrandt on Tuesday dedicated almost a full page reviewing the book authored by Dutchmen Frits Conijn and Simon Maziku.

The book hit the shelves in Am-sterdam on Tuesday with an English

version expected soon. And in England, writing for The

Times, Rick Broadbent digs into Wanjiru’s story, as told by Conijn and Maziku. “May 15 will mark a year of

mudslinging and confusion,” Broadbent wrote. “Conijn cannot forget, though, and six weeks’ living in Wanjiru’s village and exhaustive interviews have led him to some alarming conclusions about Kenyan marathon running.

“There is a big problem with boozing in Kenyan athletics,” Broadbent quotes Conijn as saying.

“Booze and sleeping-around. They (athletes) all have many women. They are just the sons of farmers and they need to be better educated about how to cope.”

Fred Gumo, the MP for Westlands, is the new acting minister for Local

Government, ending a week of behind-the-scenes jostling by hopeful politicians.

Mr Gumo, the Regional De-velopment minister, is a senior member of Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Orange Demo-cratic Movement party and a faithful ally.

His appointment was an-nounced in a one-paragraph statement from the Presiden-tial Press Service which said President Kibaki has made the appointment after consultations with Mr Odinga.

In practice, the President merely makes the announce-ment, the decision regarding MPs from the ODM side of the coalition is Mr Odinga’s.

Mr Gumo replaces Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Muda-vadi who resigned last week as ODM deputy leader and Cabinet minister. He intends to run for president against Mr Odinga but on a United Democratic Front ticket.

Mr Gumo’s appointment came amid pressure especially from Western Province for Mr Odinga to replace Mr Mudavadi

with an MP from the region.

Possible candidatesAmong those who had been

touted as possible candidates for the vacant post were Planning minister Wycliffe Oparanya, assistant minister Alfred Khang’ati and MPs Ababu Namwamba (Budalang’i), Alfred Sambu (Webuye), Ben Washiali (Mumias) and Wilbur Otichilo (Emuhaya).

The MPs have been jostling for the post through councillors allied to them.

A section of councillors from Bungoma asked Mr Odinga to

replace Mr Mudavadi with Mr Khang’ati to “neutralise” the influence of Justice minister Eugene Wamalwa in Bungoma County.

Led by Mr Henry Okumu, the councillors said it was the only county in the province which did not have a Cabinet minister from the ODM wing of the coalition.

But their Vihiga counterparts demanded that Mr Otichilo be appointed to the post because Mr Mudavadi hails from the county.

Sources close to Mr Odinga said the choice of Mr Gumo, albeit in an acting capacity, had

caught many party members by surprise.

“We expected him to call a meeting of key ODM leaders or even MPs from Western to explain to them his choice before making it public but this did not happen,” said an ally of the PM who asked not to be named for fear of appearing to challenge the decision.

Sway youthNation learnt that those

who had been pushing for Mr Namwamba argued his appoint-ment would help sway the youth vote.

But critics say it would be un-fair for Busia County to have two ODM ministers, the other one being Mr Paul Otuoma of Sports while Bungoma had none.
